I think part of the problem, is even if everybody uses no gas in their cars, the companies will still be able to buy and use gas at cheap prices. They need it to make plastics and do a lot of other things. Then you will have people saying, why should 'I' change my car and spend money to do so. I don't care if it costs $8-$20/gallon, I need to drive.
The US will be in trouble when gas prices get to $10/gal. They've gone up 300% in the last few years, and unless the Canadians can find an environmentally friendly way to extract oil from the oil sands, it seems like every other country that has oil could stop selling it to us for any number of reasons.
