Phil you are right about that. The point I was making is that with the extra driving being done today we are really not cutting emissions because we are driving that much more and we are still burning more gas cause we are driving more. Heck I own a full sized SUV and wouldn't think about buying a hybred or econemy car. I'm not a tree hugger in that sense. I do think it's amuzing that all these folks are calling out for us to be more "green" but that our habits, the throw away plastic bottles, disposable diapers and so on are not as good as some of the way things were done in the past. I'm as guilty as the next person over this.

We are 90 miles from Fargo. When we first moved here and I was in high school the local kids thought it was a big deal to go to the county seat 30 miles away. Now these same people think nothing of driving to Fargo on a lark. Just plain simple math here. Drive 16 miles round trip with a car that got 15 MPG to town compared to driving 180 miles round trip with car that gets 30. And I'd bet that the car being driven 180 miles will put out more emissions than the car being driven 16. Then listen to someone lecture me about how bad my SUV is!
