Eventually, I think the president may have to freeze gas prices if he doesn't want the economy to tank. I don't like freezing prices, but if you have to do it, you have to do it.
I know around here, most folks say they are willing to keep driving the same amount for quite awhile, until it hits about $3 or so.
At that point, when it hits that number here in the plains, the economy may really start to take a dive.

It worked out really really well.
Good luck.

Do you really want to return to gas lines?

The economy will adjust and as it does per-capita consumption will go down and as it does demand will go down and as it does prices will go down. Its called markets, not government and works most fairly and effeciently when allowed to work, instead of controlled by government fiat.
