    what are you going to do when gas gets to be $4-5/gallon?

    lol @ all the ppl who drive things that get like 15mpg

    Often times I wonder why
    There's love and hate, theres live or die.
    When sickness comes I must decide:
    When feelings go, theres suicide.

        I'd like look at the positive side of high fuel prices. Economic reality dictates that when oil is too expensive, it's alternatives become more attractive. Once there's enough critical mass and economies of scale, we MIGHT be on the road to less and less fossil fuel demand. If we choose correctly, we might be using cleaner, more renewable energy.

          I'm working on a new renewable fuel powered engine. It runs on fat. I'll never have to buy fuel again.

            Uh... pay it? What the fuck do you expect fat ass Americans to do, WALK? Take public transportation? Invent their way out of a problem rather than starting a few more illegal wars for future oil reserves? What?

                                Very well said. Not to mention people will just consume less. More bikes, public transportation, and car pools.

                                            And yet people continue to buy big trucks and big cars (myself included). We are so self-destructive ;)

                                                      cut my veins?

                                                      seriously, I have no idea. A while back I wanted to buy a motorcycle or even one of those cute scooters (there is not much traffic in my area), but now I have a baby and that's not an option anymore.

                                                        I think sales will drop bad if it goes to $4-5 a gallon.

                                                                i don't think the increase in fuel/oil price will bring down the cost of alternatives , it will send demand up , while the old thing of demand brings down price, we are now in a stage where money wins out , as long as ppl are willing to pay for alternatives prices will stay stable

                                                                you then have the other factor of alternatives still need oil to develop the product eg: it takes more resources to creat a solar panel then what you save

                                                                anyway getting back to the question , i don't use my car all that often , my other job at the radio station is just a short distance away so able to use a push bike to get to it , and there is a bus stop right across the road from me and shops too ,

                                                                            Maybe she makes a lot and its worth it, but most people will not do that because its simply not worth it. Also, that's NYC. It's a huge city with tons of public transportation. Here we only have regular buses and people can easily work 30-45 minutes away by car. That means the bus ride is ridiculously long.

                                                                            3 hours in and 3 hours out. That is insane. That means you probably have no life if you have a regular work schedule.

Do we let the Israelis keep the land they occupied after WW11 to grow their oranges or do we keep the oil flowing or do we invade the entire Middle East and lose hundreds of people a day.
