Speaking of fuel efficiency, just watched a documentary called "Collapse" about, well, lots of things, but in particular concerning how future oil shortages will affect the world. Being Yaris owners, I think we are all doing the right thing by owning fuel efficient cars that ultimately decrease energy demand (thereby decreasing our dependence of foreign sources of energy), increase national security, and probably help to mitigate the impending future oil shortage.
Check it out. The documentary is pretty good. Michael Rappaport is interviewed....

^ I've seen this documentary. It is good...

With the present winter of 2012 gas prices have been the most ever for any winter season? Demand has been the lowest? Go figure? Wouldn't peak oil be bases on the law of Supply & Demand??? One has to look at short term and long term also. With what I'm seeing definately the market is being manipulated. Speculation must be the main culprit... mind you short term. Long term, there is manipulation occuring that probably far exceeds our understanding.

Cheers!
