Cheaper Driving, Driving More
The canard about lowering the cost of driving increasing the amount of driving doesn't hold water. Demand for gasoline is highly inelastic.
I think most people simply don't have more time to spend in their cars, even if driving were free. I certainly don't.
I think the feebate idea is much better than the CAFE standard; I would be quite pleased to drive a Honda Insight while getting thousands of dollars a year in transfer payments from Hummer owners.
