I'm sure it'll be much better for the economy when gas prices go back up and no one can afford to make their 100 mile commute. Maybe we should stockpile hybrids and EVs to sell at that time and make some sweet profit.

Is there anyone who knows why so many jobs would supposedly be at risk? Seems to me that they could just crank out more high MPG cars and jack up the prices for lower MPG vehicles to shift demand and make up for the lower profit margins of the cheap cars.
