Suburban and rural areas, long the target of urban planners, will feel the squeeze. Residents of these areas, feeling the growing weight of fuel costs, may make the transition to more energy friendly vehicles (which will help a greener auto industry that will be increasingly appreciative of energy friendly policies). Or they may start moving closer to cities where they'll encounter the cultural sensibilities they sought to distance themselves from when they moved away in the first place.

Out here in the country there's no way for people to switch to the newer technology fuel efficient vehicles unless they can come up with one that will haul a trailer with a John Deere on it, a horse trailer, hay, rocks, firewood, etc.
Everybody's mortgaged up to their necks trying to keep their farms and ranches afloat anyway.
I'd be happy if they could just do something about the damn coal fired power plant down in NM that smogs up the once blue skies around here.
