OMG! I drove thru Chicago once and was petrified. I felt like i was on the autobahn!!!

Here's my opinon. Yes, it is a pretty dumb suggestion which no one will iisten to. I would not care, I am not in a perpetual rush like most people out there. I'd get better fuel mileage too. What I see though, is a recognition of the problem. When the White House says that we do not need to change our ways and big SUV's and poor mileage cars are just "The American Way." Great, being an energy pig is the American Dream.
At least she is recongizing the problem- it is the first step. If everyone else in Washington ignores the crisis at hand, things are never gonna get better. Denial sucks.
