Passing the buck on fuel economy

Americans are putting too much pressure on the auto industry to fix our gasoline problems. Really, we need to help more with this problem. We need to cut down on our gasoline and conserve it. We take it for granted and we need to understand that gasoline shortages may arise. This relates to the pressure put on the auto industry- better mileage! The astonishing fact is in the year 2000, gas mileage was the 29th listed reason for buying a car. Now, gas mileage has only moved up to the 28th reason. President Bush says something must be done. Americans don't seem to care about the gas price inflation when buying a new car. Thus, Bush promotes the idea of blending gasoline with more ethanol or increasing taxes on gas even more so it'll get our attention. The wasting of gas has a lot to do with Americans ignoring gas mileage.
