An article on the BBC news site describes the actions of an Oil Addiction enabler:

Some quotes from the article:
"Problem-hit carmaker General Motors has offered to subsidise petrol prices for drivers of its vehicles in California and Florida in order to boost sales. "
"GM plans to cap petrol prices at $1.99 (£1.05) a gallon for buyers of certain 2006 and 2007 SUV and mid-size cars. "
"The company explained that a consumer in California who bought a 2007 Chevrolet Tahoe and drove it 1,000 miles a month would get a credit of approximately $103.75. "
"That compares with the $60 credit a earned by a driver from Florida who buys a 2006 Buick LaCrosse and drives the same distance, GM said. "
See? Capitalism rescues us. We who think that high gas prices will get more people biking for transportation could be wrong.
