Hopefully high gas price can make people stop driving their 10ish mpg SUV and just drive sedans or station wagons.

Unless you need to go off road, it just make no sense to drive a 4000lbs gas gazzling SUV when you can get by with a regular sedan.

When I am driving down the highway nowadays I am seeing too many people driving their SUV to work. It just makes no sense.
