It's relative. For someone who doesn't drive that often it may not be an issue but anyone who commutes or drives a lot for business 1/4 of a tank can be suicide when the traffic is jammed.

The increased mileage economy of driving with less gas / weight in your vehicle coupled with the transfer of supply from your driveway to gas station and refineries seems to be a more effective strategy than stomping around chanting "Bush sucks".
Sure there's a lot the individual can do, and I for one try to do what I can to minimize my personal footprint.

But on 9/11 everything was to supposed to have "changed"...and we all know the intrinsic relationship between Energy Dependence and National Security.

If radical measures are justified to preserve one, the People do have the right to demand change from our leadership on the other.
