Hate to be a kill joy, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.

I see you're from "The Birthplace of America". I live on the western side of the "Great Keystone State". As you're probably aware, approximately $1.00 of the price of EVERY GALLON of gas/diesel sold in this state goes straight to taxes, yes? Unfortunately, that will NEVER change and can only increase.
We have always had some of the most expensive fuel prices in the country (because of taxes). I believe we're second only to CA and am I ever glad I don't hafta pay THOSE prices! This upward trend will be the same in every state of the union.
Despite this, I'm gonna keep driving my diesels. Thirty plus MPG isn't too bad IMO. Hard to find a good used car that'll deliver that kind of mileage and not break the bank (unless you wanna drive a sub-compact...no thanks). Not to mention the comfort, reliability......and "cool factor"
