Will Americans Turn a Little More towards Hybrids?

Energy Secretary Samuel Bodman recently said that consumers can expect to see atleast six more months of high gasoline prices until energy production recovers from the damage of the hurricanes. Even when they return to "pre-Katrina" level prices, the price of gasoline will still be pretty high. People who have SUV's are trying to get rid of them and get a car with better gas mileage and people are not driving as much because of the ridiculous prices of gas. With all of this in mind, do you think that Americans will look more towards hybrids? A lot of people say they will never think of buying one of those and that they will never be the "big" thing. With these gas prices do you think people will start to change their mind and look towards these hybrids knowing that gas prices will be high for a long time?
