Well - on the SUV note... Im totally down for the falling prices! I have two SUV's now - and am lookign to buy two NEWER ones. See, the thing of it is, i can now get a nice 2003-2004 Chevy Tahoe with about 75k miles on it for 10k. Seating for 7, and room for all my kids shit - not to mention a whole lot more confortable when the stoner int he Prius runs the Red light and smacks us. On the fiscal side of things, becuase the prices are soooo cheap now on used SUV's - I am actually going to SAVE money paying for higher gas prices since the Hybrids are soo much more expensive. The $10k+ will pay for about 6 or 7 years of gas - even at $5-$6/gallon.

.................

as for price... the states taxes are 4 to 6 times what the oil companies are profting per gallon ($0.08/gallon average). On top of that, many states have different laws about what formulas of gas are allowed to be sold in that state... so refineries have to incur additional refining costs when they change formulas. That is in the price. And since the gas is actually transported by truck to the station.. it gets even worse. The increase in the price of Diesel is effecting the final price of the gas at the pump... its a vicious snowbal effect!

........

Fix for the problem??? 1) LOWER GAS TAXES! 2) NATIONAL STANDARD FORMULA 3) DRILL in Anwar and the deap gulf.

Gas prices in this country could be back down to about $2 a gallon and stay that way while the Auto Manufacturers work out better alternative-renewable fuels. CORN is NOT the answer!!! Hybrids with the current batteries aren't all that great either. They don't really protect the environment - you should see the process involved with bringing one to market. Its 'carbon footprint' is ridiculous!

As for oil running out... thats now debateable. Over the last few years, a number of new theories have surfaced that suggest some oil fields are growing. If thats true, then oil may not be solely - fossil fuel.

............

Regardless... any way you slice it - THE GAS PRICES SUCK!
