There aren't even that many of them in the US.

Ditto...nowadays i only drive where I need to.

On the other hand, I'm so busy nowadays i don't have time to "drive for the sake of driving". 54mpg would only mean i'd use less than alf the gas I do now.

When you think of the 30 million or so people that can afford a first vehicle like this, this is but one of a few cars soon to be available in India and China that will raise the world demand for oil enough to reach $4/gal here in the US.

He's probably referring to the 1973 Arab-Israeli war and subsequent OPEC boycott.
