Glad I bought the Vette. Better mileage than the Pathfinder.

"people are poor already and gas is so high.”"

Think about in the overall scheme of things how silly that sounds..

Good! Maybe we'll get serious about developing alternative energy sources and opening older wells. In the meantime, buy XOM.

"Half a truckload of gas is probably about $14,000. And we can only buy half a truckload at a time because we just couldn't afford that,"

The theory of charging the customers according to what your paid for the gas in the tank only works if the market price is going down. If it's going up, you will never be able to fill your tank without getting a loan.

I have no idea if the price of gas will go to $4 or not. However, I have no idea how Americans can live for 40 years without creating a way to stabilize the cost of oil. I understand this is hard to do. But if we live in a society where city's will pay for sex changes and we will stop million dollar real estate investments for endangered frogs, we should have been able to produce a bull dog energy policy. In fact, isn't that one of the two things government is supposed to do...provide security and infrastructure; which they haven't been doing.

Gen X vengeance is coming, and it won't be pretty Boomers.

What kind of vette did you get? Mine is a 2003 50th anniversary vert. And yes the mileage is better than either of my two other vehicles.

The only upside to higher gas prices, is that anger is building against the greens. If it cracks $4 I am going to start circulating the home addressses of the leadership of the Sierra Club and the other enviro nazis...Notice they all live in Boston or SF....interesting eh??

The Greens ought to be tried and convicted and PUNISHED for what they are trying to do to this country...If you want to opt out of fossil fuels that's your business...but how DARE YOU impose it on us...

GOD gave us the resources we need, and these godless hoardes would have us living like savages...

Right now gas is selling on the spot for $2.29. in order to sell for about $4.00 nation wide the spot price for gas would have to increase by about 33% to $3.06 per gallon.

Most investors are "pleased" so far that no disruption have occurred due to geopolitical reasons.
