Conservation just keeps us indebted to OPEC. Lets burn all this up as quick as we can so that we will be forced to use an alternate fuel source. That includes drilling in Alaska and everywhere we can. Lets get it out of the ground and burn it up and get on with some other kind of fuel. And get rid of the dependence on foreign oil. Conservation just delays the inevitable, and I'm not sure how the government can force a free people how much gas to burn unless they take over a private industry. They do that in China, but I don't think its the right thing to do in the U.S. of America.

Now that the Labor Day holiday is over, I think it's going to drop back a bit, I think we'll see regular under $3.00 the rest of the year, but it's never going back where it was, under $2.00 - ever. Once they breach a price point, and we pay it, it never goes back under again........
I also think we need to take the long view here, so gas is 1/3 more than what it was, if you average 10k miles a year, and you get even 20 mpg, your cost is going to go up about $500 a year if gas goes from $2 a gallon to $3. - it's not the deal breaker it first seems.

I've got a bad feeling about that too. Remember the coffee shortage when coffee went from 25 cents a cup to about $1.00? Then the shortage eased but the higher price never went away. The shortage was an opportunity for the restaurants to raise prices in unison without alienating most of the customers. Maybe they sell 25% less coffee but they make 100% more on the cups they do sell.
In this case, without oil, we're like turtles on our backs. Who's giong to quibble then?
