It's about time though. I am tired of driving through the City and choking on exhaust from old vehicles and trucks.

I wonder what impact this will have on gas prices though. Part of me thinks that they will get cheaper (supply and Demand), but because people will be buying fuel less frequently I get this feeling that the prices will increase so that oil trycoons can maintain their operating costs. Eventually the oil companies are going to have to downsize or face bankruptcy much like the auto industry.
