$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...

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.
