80% of the cars here in so FL. are oversized and have a 5'2" soccermom or her 5'3" husband in it.....(-:
What a brilliant idea. Of course nothing else will be impacted if you get your wish. Of course, no other prices will go up. Only the guzzlers will disappear. Gas prices go up, what do you think will happen to the economy? If I cancel that vacation, and stay home because of the prices of gas, guess who else is affected? Multiply that effect by millions and the tourist industry goes down. Are you that immune to the economy? Yes, you are running your WVO. Good for you. You live off the land too? If you lose your job because of downsizing when the economy happens, I'll buy you a beer so you can toast the prices going higher and you get what you wanted. When they dropped the atomic bomb in Japan, only the soldiers died, right? I suppose, stupid is as stupid wishes.
