It can be done and it just MIGHT get people out of their gas guzzlers.
I can't afford the payments on my smaller, much better fuel standard car.
I can't afford $7/gallon gas on top of that.
Ya know, the amazing thing is, America did so before...
when was this?

Gas shortage. Notice how during the 70's when the Japanese cars took off American automakers (grudgingly) switched from making aircraft carriers into smaller cars?

I can get off the road anytime, but that's just not feasible in a train system, nor is it particularly feasible to set up a subway system, even if it is between cities and suburbs.

If the higher prices force Americans to demand smaller, more fuel efficient cars... It happened with the last gas shock as well. Gas hit $4 and SUV sales plunged. suddenly Toyota and Honda couldn't keep up with demand for hybrids.

You forget this is the US we are talking about.
When faced with a 7 dollar a gallon tax, The solution will be violence not, wait for next election.
True. So implement a gradual tax, say fifty cents/gallon a year, and use the revenues to build a national high speed rail system. Provide categorical grants to cities so they can build city-suburb rail systems. The point is, we as a country need to be weaned off oil and onto public transportation, and the only way I can see that happening is through higher fuel costs.
