Manipulation.

Remember back to a few years ago when the western states, in particular California, had blackouts - there was talk about not enough energy, too much use, etc ... when in the end it turned out the real cause to be manipulation.

Yes, oil is limited, but it's telling how the energy companies are posting record profits.

Finally, on the bright side, if gas prices go to like $3 or even $4 (not totally out of the realm of possibilities), perhaps many folks were trade in their damn SUVs for something smaller - at minimum opt for the smaller cross-over vehicles; glorified stationwagons quite really, which is cool in that they're easier to see and park around than the all those supersized SUVs.

Or even better yet, many people will drive less leaving more open road for the folks who don't mind spending $3, $4, or even $10 per gallon if it opens up the highways.
