Okay, what is this "Americans need to end their addiction to oil" thing? It's not an addiction. It's not like gasoline is crack. I drive a Civic, and I get good gas mileage. But I still need gas. It's sort of like saying people should stop being addicted to food. Sure, you could be a small person and only require a little food, but you will still want more eventually. You need food, while you do not need heroine. That right there is the difference between a need and an addiction.

I would gladly buy one of those hybrid cars if I had the money. Or come up with some new and cheap source for fuel. But I'm not a scientist, and I have better things to do. Like rant about this. And I'm sure it's very important to find alternate sources for fuel, but do not call our dependence on oil an addiction. That's just silly.
