When gas prices are high people drive less. When gas prices are low people drive more.
Gas price even becomes part of the criteria for buying a home. If gas prices are high people try to live close to work.
You are involved in GM's planning of hybrid vehicles, you should know that high gas prices are the best incentive for people to buy the vehicles you are "planning".
Also you should be the first one to protest when GM lowers the Gas prices, this works against the vehicles you're planning.

C'mon. GM wants to sell the SUVs and not the small/medium vehicles. When you walk into your showrooms the message is clear. GM makes more money selling SUVs than small vehicles, you know it ! we know it !
If you as the person planning GM's Hybrid Vehicles doesn't see what the rest of us, outsiders, easily see... there is no hope !
