josh, i see your point and i agree with you. i have a short commute and my car gets around around 21 mpg, the way i drive. the prices really don't bother me. i do, however, think it's kind of cool that the people who are hurt the most are the ones that drive these big monstrosities for no reason. the new odysseys get 28 fwy, and the new pilot gets 22-24 fwy. only folks who drive expeditions and lifted 4x4s are really hurting.
