Americans don't care. Or why would they keep buying so many gas guzzlers?

I don't think this would be too shocking. If you don't like it, then encourage your Congressman to pass the President's energy plan.

$3.00 a gallon when making $40 an hour is not as tough as $1.05 a gallon when making $5.00 an hour 20-25 years ago... U.S. consumers will adapt...

Perhaps ANWR drilling will pass when the wallet drilling commences.

At $3.00 per gallon, it would still be cheaper, in relative terms than when I got first started driving (1979).

It ain't gonna happen! The public outcry and pressure will mitigate the price. The government will open the strategic reserve. The President does want to be reelected...

Sorry, I accidentially hit private message with the following post
"Ever notice how when gas prices to up, so does food and all other consumer goods. Also, with gas that high in the Summer looks like tourism could take another hit.
What ever happened to we would rebuild Iraq using their oil money, not our own billions plus, paying higher gas prices?"

Just as long as they don't whine. As for the folks who can least afford it, them I have sympathy for. Supply and demand works against them. Pity more people don't keep that in mind. I was looking at a Toyota Prius recently. Neat car, but even at $20,000 the folks who might be most inclined to buy a fuel-efficent car would have a tough time affording it. Lower income folks really get hit in the wallet with high fuel prices.

I love expensive gasIt'll be too bleepin bad if the price of big, used SUVs plummets the way muscle cars did in the Seventies. Tsk, tsk, tsk...
Of course, the difference is, muscle cars really were cool. :-) I can't foresee a day when car shows are brimming with "classic" SUVs. Blecccch.

This is another zinger for the Gore wing of the environmental-wacko set.
Oh sure, high gas prices will make people conserve and drive less, but we want lower gas prices too.
It's like the wind farm issue.
Wind power is good but it is bad........blame it on Bush.......and whatever you do..........
don't build a wind farm in my front yard.
