It might be cheaper to take a plane to work.

Nothing is going to change until Bush is out of office. I'm guessing that its not a coincidence that oil companies have enjoyed record profits under his watch while development and mass production of reasonable alternatives to gas-powered vehicles has gone nowhere.

It's possible he's right.
Also possible he's wrong.
We were supposed to hit $4 two years ago. Still waiting.

The sky is falling! We were supposed to be over $4 by Christmas, although today's news out of Pakistan doesn't help.

If you think the economy is at the edge of the cliff now, gas at $3.75 a gallon is the 100-mph wind about to blow us over.

I won't believe it until I see it.

I know the words "oil companies record profits" make people's blood boil.

But there's really only one reason behind it: Record demand.

And while Bush is at fault for a lot of things, he doesn't control how thirsty the world is for oil.

We were also supposed to have bad hurricane seasons the last two summers that would drive prices above $5 a gallon because the oil infrastructure could be damaged.

We were supposed to have $4 a gallon in the fall because of record demand.

Exactly.

Two months ago they were saying $4 by the end of the year. I paid $2.83/gallon the last time I filled up. Spring? Sorry, I'm just not seeing it. We'll get there eventually, but it will be incrementally, not in one huge short-term spike.

I discovered this site several years ago, and I was pretty depressed for a while afterwards. I got over it. It's not all that objective. But I think it's an important read because it presents a lot of material for thought. Just don't take it as the end all, be all.

And when we do, we'll be ****ed. Because most of us are making the same money we were when gas was less than two bucks a gallon.
