Or get everyone's average to 23 and halve the annual miles driven... that seems eminently more doable to me cuz, well, 23 is easy to attain even with a stupid land barge. Judging by the sheer number of what appear to be ignorant single occupant joyrides, or actual legitimate runs but made with no consideration for multitasking the run, and ESPECIALLY the number of local runs that could be just as well accomplished on foot or bike, and perhaps dare to dream of people putting some consideration into arranging their lives around the notion of expensive energy rather than cheap as far as commutes and such, I would think it possible to halve the number of annual miles driven and if fuel cost more than lattes and bottled water perhaps there would be an incentive to move in that direction.
