..... or $5./gallon, or $10. / gallon.... or even more. The financial aspect will be the one thing that will really drive change. When it gets too painful to drive the SUV, then and only then will people search out more efficient transportation. And everyone's threshold of pain is different.
I do wish people would be a bit more patient with hybrid technology. I think it's basically a sound idea, just needs more time to develop and mature. Emission controls are a good thing, and work well these days. But if you remember the earlier versions..... they sucked. It all took some time....
