Reducing greenhouse gases indeed isn't the first priority for most consumers. I'm one of them. I'm even skepetical to the theory of man-made climate change. But that's another discussion.
Fuel consumption is going to be main issue as oil prices are continue to rise the next couple of decades. It already is a main issue in the United States. And although reducing greenhouse gases won't be a priority for most consumers, it will become a main issue for the manufactures as authorities (like the EU) will continue introducing new and more strict emission rules.
