Americans are ranting and b-tching but there are a lot of advantages to these high gas prices:
1. Less traffic on the road, as Americans cut back on non-essential travel. This also means less pollution.
2. Some people are driving a lot slower to conserve gas. There are still a lot of people who speed up to get to a red light 100 feet ahead, but at least some people are easing off the gas pedal.
3. Traffic-related deaths and auto accidents have fallen dramatically, for those first two reasons given. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20080722/ap_on_re_us/gas_declining_deaths
4. It’ll force Americans to get off their lazy butts and walk or use public transportation. It’ll also force them to carpool more.
Considering how recklessly many Americans drive, I’m not so sure I want to see gas prices come down. When I consider how fast people some people are driving even with these high gas prices, I’m not sure I want to see gas go back to $1.46 a gallon like it was 7 years ago.

Speeders and fast drivers are a major pet peeve of mine (I admit that I drive slower than a little old lady on her way to the Bingo hall, but I get great gas mileage in my Ford Focus).
But, one benefit of the high gas prices is that it might improve safety by getting people to slow down to conserve gas. (slower speeds = better fuel economy).
Or so I thought, because one thing I’ve noticed is that Americans don’t seem interested in easing off the accelerator to save gas in their vehicles.
I hear a lot of people squawking and b-tching about the high prices at the pump, but people still buy their gas-guzzling SUVs, they still drive a quarter-mile to buy a gallon of milk, and they still put the pedal to the floor even when there’s a red light 100 feet ahead.

I have heard the elephant of a vr-4 is not the best car to own when trying to conserve gas. What are some of the mpg values you get if you own one? Also will I break hell for putting regular in a vr4?

Gas is very high but we were warned to conserve before now and many didn’t listen and bought the SUVs anyway.
Many of those people buying the SUV’s were using them as their were meant to be used. As an off road vehichle. They mostly bought them for status. A family as a rule, doesn’t really need one of those monsters to haul your 2.5 kids around.
