We may drive less but don't be under the disillusion that our public transport systems are that developed. Here in the UK the only subway system I can think of is in London - the best the rest of the country has are shoddy train services which are overpriced and famed for being late, crappy bus services, and for the lucky few in one of the cities that have them, cobbled-together tram systems.

Are you really that clueless to believe that the majority of Europeans have any kind of access to a subway system? A few major cities only enjoy that luxury. Oddly much like the US.

Drive less - sure for several reasons. One being that they haven't been spoilt by cheap gas so have needed a working public transport system. Something the US may have to start looking at until/unless an alternative fuel becomes truly viable. But subway systems.....

Pleasurepays summary was perhaps the most intelligent in this thread so far for the little it's worth.

Newcastle has one too I believe. Have to agree though with the hugely overpriced services we do have. They are better than muc h of the US but only for those who can afford them. Unfortunately it's often MUCH cheaper to drive despite the fuel price and many out of town shopping complexes have a crap transport service now so a car is very much needed. Amazing how many Americans underestimate how much we sadly do need to drive now.

The problem with soaring gas prices here in the US (and I'm sure it's affecting the Europeans too) is the hike has been so fast...this hasn't been a gradual increase. So with it happening so quick, it's caused a ripple effect and has causes prices to go up for everything else as well. It's caused people to cut back on shopping, entertainment, etc. which is causing several small business owners to go out of business. I understand, this is part of the free market system, businesses are going to come and go, but it is having an impact on the economy and will get worse.

You learn something new every day - I honestly thought it was just London that had an underground subway.

I filled up in Washington State yesterday and it was $1.29 a litre for 89 octane. Ugh. Two weeks ago it was $1.12.
