I think that there are enough stats there, to more than prove your point... LOL

Technically as bad as it sounds I think the higher oil prices are a good thing....
why? because if they weren't high we wouldn't be talking that much about alturnatives. I've heard ethanol mensioned more times in the past year than in the previous 25 or so years. I've heard more on wind, more on solar and so on just due to the prices of oil.
The thing is it's generally amazing how little some of the costs can be though just to make this happen. If gas goes up ten cents in one day and a gas tank is 20 gallons...that's only $2 more per fillup....
The other thing people should also consider is that if we can fully understand that we have a limited supply of fuel then the effort should be put upon either changing the engine to make it last longer or to change the fuel to make it burn better. In both reguards we DO have these and they are called hybrids and diesels respectivly.
Energy must be both created and also be conserved. Do you know that many electrical devices never really turn off?

Sometimes it's hard to understand as to why things do not changes but if you look at some of the stats they can. For example many might think that we cannot make a fuel efficent car but yet the Chevy Prizm was made here and it was nearly the same as a Corolla (cosmetic differences) in the Numa plant in California (matrix and vibe are nearly the same today)

I love it when I'm right...
I just wish I had more disposable income to invest so I could make some money off these predictions....
Dump those oil stocks now if you haven't already....
Maybe the problem Honda is having with hybrids are with the dealers. I've heard that its typical for dealers to charge 5k above MSRP for hybrids making them not worth the extra cost.
I don't know if this is true but its what I heard from someone who bought a Prius before they started doing that.

Supply and demand..... If too many people are clamoring for them, the price rises, obliterating any potential savings..... (although they DO get to brag to their greenie friends about how environmentally sensitive they are)
If someone wants to get a nice fuel efficient car, get a Toyota Corolla.
You can't beat 41 MPG on the highway, 34 in the city. It's MUCH less than the hybrids.
If I didn't owe as much on my vehicle I'd get a Corolla in a heartbeat.
