When I just have to go to the office or shop, or just beat around town, I drive my little Toyota pick up, or ride one of my BMX bicycles, when I have to go see clients I'll drive the C4, but mostly been driving the Toy or the bike. And since the company pays for most of my gas while working, it was me who made the choice, and I tell you, the C4 and the company 3500 are much more fun and comfortable than the little truck.

the USofA is just plain proof that the people will not decide to buy fuel economical cars on their own...
it's only recently that things started improving, and basically that's just because of legislation , not because the demand for fuel ecnomy urged car makers to produce economical cars...
the upped prices of oil products is only now starting to become an issue ( or else why did this thread start now instead of couple of years ago ?? )
as for diesels poluting more... think again , modern diesel engines are almost cleaner than petrol engines.. the only thing they put out more , is small particles, and those are currently taken care off by a particle filter , which is becoming standard equipment on more and more cars...
