3/gallon gas comming soon

[sbergman27]

Personally, I think that in the long term it would be better for the U.S. and, in fact, the world, if the U.S. saw about $5/gal gas in the near future. I think that is what it would take to wake the public up to the realities which have been pretty obvious, to those of us who have been paying attention, since the mid 1970s. All the unnecessary and pointless use of SUVs as single person transports that has become so ubiquitous over the last 20 years has got to stop. The inexplicable exclusions of the new high efficiency diesels, already commonplace in Europe, from the U.S. market must end.

We're 30 years late taking action. (I know, I've been watching.) The sooner we get started on a sustainable path, the better for everyone.
