Well, to be fair, he was towing a trailer behind him. Your average Honda civic won't do much good in that situation.
But by and large, as there seems to be no headway being made to seriously develop alternative fuel sources, I would not be opposed to new standards being imposed on passenger vehicles. Something like, for any vehicle that carries more than 3 people (gotta give the tradespeople and farmers with their pick ups and panel vans a break), a minimum of 35mpg highway must be obtained.
