I believe the true barometer that will let us know when gas is too high
in the U.S. is the McDonalds drive-thru line...as long as folks are
using it, gas is affordable. If we can become of the mindset to get our
fat, lazy butts out of the car, and walk into McDonalds to order our
death meal, then we'll be on the road to all manner of improvements!!!

I recently drove my Suburban from Minneapolis to Missoula, MT and
back...44
gals x $3.50 = $154 per tankful. Compared to today, I guess it's a
bargain!! Maybe I should use it as a storage tank for my other cars!!
The only effective strategy I can think of to battle high energy prices
is
to use less of it. Get your bicycles dusted off, carpool, consolidate
errands, find things closer to home. If demand drops significantly, so
will prices. In fact, the CBS radio news this AM claimed that oil
supplies
are at an all time high. Let the backup begin and prices will come
down. But don't complain about high oil prices while continuing your
usual
usage...it makes you look like Al Gore complaining about global warming
from his 10,000 square foot house.
