I remember reading about people with big pickups and SUVs having sticker shock when the bill for filling up went to 3 digits. That's probably what it will take again to change buying habits.
In the meantime I honestly do believe that some government regulations have made a difference. I think without them we'd still see cars coming out of Detroit with carburetors.
