Over the years i have seen many guys from the USA post about rising gas prices.

Ever wondered why a lot of europeans drive around in funny little cars? Gas price! we just cant afford to run the big gas guzzlers a large amount of ordinary USA citizens drive.
I have noticed a slow shift to more gas economical cars i see on USA TV programmes

Here in the UK it is a bit of Bling to drive around in a big Range Rover as you must be loaded to drive one.
