Do MPGs matter as much to you now that the price of gas has fallen?

Question:

With the news of new legislation affecting miles per gallon and emissions about to take effect in the next few years, do MPGs matter as much to you now that the price of gas has fallen?

Answer:

From a very selfish point of view, yes. Because my wallet is still affected by the price of anything. However, from an unselfish environmental point of view…still yes. It is nice to have an ozone. And everytime I see a large SUV on the road, I’m thinking about how much more fossil fuels that car is burning through than mine.

However, I don’t think that everyone shares my opinion. After all, there used to be a 6 month waitlist for a Prius, now you can just pick one up from Toyota any day of the week.
