Listen America, better gas mileage is the key to your lower gas bill. I mean jeez, if you have a good car with good gas mileage your really a good person and care about the economy and conserving it. But if your one of those people who own Hummers, you are supper gay. You guys don't care about the economy you little gas wasters. If you own a Hummer, and say you have great gas mileage, and are happy with the economy, and say other people should have Hummers, and you say George Bush is the president ever, you are very very...... hmmmmmmm let me think about this....... f'in gay, and get off this website.

What I'm trying to say is many people would love to go to Rome ( - _- ) but gas prices are affecting everyone and everything, so first you have to get a plane ticket, BUT WAIT! you have to pay for the amount of bags you have. then you get your ticket...then your sitting back on the plane looking out the window and all of a sudden your hungry, but! yet again the food on the plane is not free. Finally you make your expensive trip to Rome. Now lets go back a little bit..You had $2,000 on the start of your trip (by the way your going by yourself) you paided for two of your bags which say is $35, then you pay for your ticket (ticket prices will range depending on the place where you desire) say it was $950, lets see there is already $985 down the drain and not for your trip, then you have to pay for the food on the plane, another $20.. So really what i'm trying to say is you just waisted $1,005 on the trip. Just remember once gas prices go up so do other things. (i just used planes as my example) I know I dont drive or own a car do to the fact that i’m only 13 years old, but I think that if gas prices dont reach an amount that Americans will agree on (not mind) then we are going to not enjoy the world and what it has for us.

Your point applies to developed countries also. In many European countries, there are tax incentives to reduce CO2 emission (green house gas). Diesel fuel reduce CO2 emission 30% compared to gasoline. So, countries put more tax on gasoline or give people tax incentive to buy diesel engined vehicles--making it cheaper to operate diesel vehicles than gasoline vehicles. As a result roughly 50% of new vehicles sold in many European countries are diesel engined. This brings us to a different point that government action can affect people's purchase decision and can also slow down the effects of global warming. Janette, you raise an interesting point.
