While it would be nice to have fewer visibility-obstructing-vehicles on the road, that would also mean that you and I would be paying $4/gallon, need I remind you.
I'd love to see the prices jump to $4/gallon ++, and force a majority of the un-needed SUV's off the road. I can't wait to hear all the jobless, latte-sipping, air headed, empty-SUV-driving-soccer-mommies complaining about how they deserve low gas prices.

i've got a...2000 model...i've got a 10-11 gallon tank with no indicator to tell me when it's alarmingly empty...and so far the mpg hasn't been great at all.

It will be one costly summer at the pump.

You can make it less costly by not driving as much. Instead of driving halfway across the country for vacation (assuming that's what you do ), just go out to the beach locally at Long Island. ( You'll probably save your car from some paint chips and glass damage on the Interstates as well).
If enough people do this, demand will drop significantly, and so will prices. We saw that last fall and winter....with a massive drop.
