Here's a better idea. If everyone would start bying sensible vehicles and sensibly-sized vehicles and stop buying SUV's and other vehicles that get less than 15 mpg, the demand for gasoline would plummet and, theoretically at least, the decreased demand would cause a decrease in the price of gas.
As an added benefit, even if the price of gas stayed the same - many Americans would be saving money because they would be consuming less gas.
Now that would work.
Unfortunately, too many Americans are lazy, addle-minded slobs who believe all the advertising hype and make their purchasing decisions based upon the image that automobile commercials and advertisements project.
Lets face it, we all have to pay the price for living in a nation of dolts.
