If prices like these doesn't make manufacturers go back to making cars versus these new massive SUVs and trucks, then I'm not sure what will

I seem to recall that when Bush "ousted" Saddam Hussein that oil prices dropped fairly fast and sat around $0.65 for a while. Now with all the unrest, crude oil apparently went past $40 US a barrel the other day.
I know a bunch of us here are really beginning to re-evaluate commuting, if prices keep rising like this. Or, at the very least start driving the speed limit and etc.
