I would expect to see more fuel efficient cars (including SUV's) coming onto the market sooner than the 20yr plan if the price of oil continues to rise. Its all a matter of incentives to the manufactures and consumers, government can be a guiding hand, but no real change comes about unless it is provoked within the free market.
