If you buy a full size Hummer, or a huge truck, or gas guzzling SUV that you do not need for work, you are an asshole - I agree with that 100%
On the flip-side, people purchase what is available to them. If the only vehicles we could purchase were electric (for example), we would purchase electric cars. If the only vehicles we could purchase got 50+ MPG, then we would have to buy them.
If gas was $10 p/gallon here in the US things would change FAST! Personally, I'm all for that.

Structuring our communities in a way that would make the need for a car for every fucking thing would go a long way as well. it's absolute insanity that we build endless seas of suburbs with absolutely nothing within walking distance, no mass transit, no nothing.
