Fight the gas prices

Of course I know that we talk about different continents. However I think your conclusions are not correct.
I know some people need SUVs and I know some people have to travel long distances.....but those some people are not the average.
On average everybody can save a lot of energy without even really changing their habits. Even in your own home things like using low energy consumtion light bulbs, not leaving the light on in a room where you are not at the moment, or keeping the doors of the house closed when you are heating (or cooling) it can save incredible amounts of energy.....these small things are sadly not normal for most people.

IN the US people use there car for everything because they can (could), fuel didn´t cost anything....and now things change. And your point about comfort is just plain wrong........most european cars (I'm not talking about the smallets cars) are just as comfortable for long distances as american cars.......anyway it is your way of thinking that made GM, Ford etc. lose market share to toyota.

How far does the average person in your area travel to work?
