I think many people ARE starting to conserve. However, if you look at the cars during rush hour in our area (Detroit) , there are still a lot of one-person vehicles (mine included). The problem is that public transportation is not a viable alternative for those of us who live in suburban subdivisions and who work at jobs that are 25-40 miles away.
