How and what are they supposed to use for buying these more efficient vehicles ?
Gee… it’s almost as if regardless of fuel costs, more efficient vehicles always make sense. This cyclical bullshit has been going on since the 70s, you would think idiots would have learned a lesson by now.
The modern American lifestyle is built from very sophisticated and aggressive marketing especially with vehicles. The lessons we have learned have never been around moderation (Thanks Reagan) but around consumption. Look at the backlash when the Prius first came on the market to see how people were shamed for buying something small and efficient. The brainwashing is real and deeply set. I agree with your assessment I hope that more people start looking at fuel efficient cars, but in America its a big economic and mental hill to climb.
