At $2.75 it is not fun filling my Suburban.

That's why I drive an old Eagle Summit for my commute. Gets 36-40 mpg. Yeah, it's got absolutely no amenities (I paid more for my lawnmower than I paid for it), but it runs and saves me over a hundred bucks a month on my commute.

""An oil price spike to perhaps $200 dollars a barrel or more could wreck whole sectors of our economy, like the airline industry, which is already hurting from oil at $70 a barrel. Just think what would happen if airline ticket prices tripled from today's levels!""

These people are truly idiots..if oil went to $200 per barrel, most airlines would go under but those that survived would survive in an environment with much lower capacity of ASMs, thus allowing them to raise fares to cover the $200 oil. Also sitting down 1/2 the nations airfleet would itself reduce demand substantially.
