BTW, while every body ‘cept me is complaining about prices I still think it is not too expensive. I just drove up US 41 and it was packed. How many of those trips are necesary. 80% 90% 70%. How many are joyrides or due to bad planning 20% 10% 30%?

Are they all driving new Caddies?

When I see traffic down 20-30% I will believe prices are too high. Meanwhile we need to drill. Even 5 million additional domestic production is a huge impact on prices and exports of petro dollars. We need to get all we can and let price seek its natural level.

Us regular folk still have to drive to work regardless of the price.

The better indicator is what discretionary spending is doing. Because those of us with no choice except to drive have made the cut in discretionary spending. If you think you can run an economy with a large percentage of us cutting discretionary spending back to almost nothing, good luck.
