I remember reading a while back, about how the 4-bangers flourished when the government leaned on the manufacturers to make more fuel efficient vehicles, to get away from the big block 8's they were producing. I think it was the late 70's early 80's.

I also thought there were some regulations about some %age of the manufactures fleet could not exceed a certain fuel economy level.

Anyways, the best way to combat the high fuel prices, is to find ways where the Gov't can pressure big oil into properly maintaining its refining facilities to reduce costs of retro-fitting and repairs, as well and properly regulate the reserve supplies to ensure they never dip below the level that pushes prices sky high.
