i agree to a degree with sharp about gas guzzling american cars and oil companies but i also think this may something to do with the american culture as a whole. things are simply big here and there must a LOT of everything. especially when you look at 50s 60s cars, they weren't cars, they were boats. huge! and this phenomenon is continuing into the 21st century but as more and more external factors make american people realize wasting or excessive consumption of goods is not healthy for anyone or anything, people are starting taking steps in the right direction. it's very slow though, i think.
