We're willing to pay $3, $4, $5 for gas because we have no choice, most of us can't function without a vehicle... let's say we all used public transportation to stop using gas, do you think they have enough to support everyone? Furthermore, in Houston at least, the public transportation system is shit, if I have to make the choice of spending 3 hours on a bus to get to where I need to go or get there in 30 minutes, I'm going to pick 30 minutes. I'd love to walk everywhere, but I live 30 miles from campus, not happening.
