    Toyota: The solution to high gas prices? Drive less!

    Filed under: Etc., Toyota

    [IMG]

    Automakers understand that the buying public is struggling with high gas prices, and the entire industry is working on new technologies to ease our financial burden. Unfortunately, new fuel efficient products are going to take a while to develop on a large scale, so for now we're just going to have to grin and bear it. That is unless you want to follow the wisdom of Toyota, which has dug deep into its core of corporate genius to give the car-driving public this little tidbit of advice: drive less. Wow, the solution was right under our noses the whole time, and we just didn't figure it out. You know there is a problem with gas prices when automakers start telling you to buy a bicycle.

    Head over to Autoblog Green to read up on some very real ways that you can save on fuel, and check out the site's fancy new diggs while you're at it.

    that is my response also. everyone has a choice on where they want to live, how far they want to commute and what they want to drive. i bet if people would budget there money better (not aimed at anyone here, just in general) there would be less people complaining about being broke.

    I have to agree 100%. I would say only about 5% of the people I know personally are really struggling with their finances.
