Weren't people paying the equivalent of $10/barrel more just a few months ago? It seems unlikely that a new crop of people could suddenly afford the multi-thousand dollar, ongoing investment in a vehicle because they'd pay $0.25/gallon less for gas. Besides, we've hidden the 'true cost' of driving from consumers by refusing the raise the current fuel tax. It doesn't even come close to paying for the roads. We should raise the tax on it for that alone.
