At $5 a gallon, I'd start taking public transportation for most of my travelling. Defenitly for my daily work communte. I'd sacrifice that extra hour or so extra it would take.

if oil became extremely unprofitable i bet we would see an alternative energy source up and running within 2 years providing it can use some of the existing infrastructure...
hydrogen is practically stable right now.... problem is, theres no filling stations anywhere....
and it really is amusing how fuel/petro prices keep rising, but the oil companies are bragging about having the most profitable quarters EVER...
thats just great...
welcome to bush and cheeeeeeeeeeeeny's master plan. if you voted for them, congrats.
and how about taxation without representation...
taxing something that is a necessity should be illegal, kinda like how food has no sales tax (in NY)
in ct, theres no tax on BASIC foods (bread/milk/veggies/etc) but chips, soda, and crap do.
also, there is no sales tax on clothes under 49.99. 50 and over, get taxed.
but gas isn't really a necessity.
there's public transportation, theres walking, theres bikes... driving is a privilage, not a right, nor a necessisty. its just become a way of life.
If you never drove again- you could still live a well and healthy life.
can't say the same about clothing and food.
i heard an average figure of 40 cents per gallon goes to fed and state taxes...
2 bucks a gallon goes to gouging

it is law in ct to post the taxes on the pump. i haven't looked at them in a while, but i know that the ct state tax is higher by almost double the fed tax. i think its like 30 cents for fed, and 65 -70 for state if memory serves.
the fed tax goes into the interstate highways and such.... so i have no problem paying that.
the state tax goes into state roads.
so, technically, you ARE represented.
you don't directly pay the tax on the fuel--- the oil companies/opec does, and then sells it to mobil or whatever...

Crude oil prices have been steadily rising since the late 1990s. The price of light crude closed at $36.70 a barrel on Tuesday in trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange.
barrel- Any of various units of volume or capacity. In the U.S. Customary System it varies, as a liquid measure, from 31 to 42 gallons (120 to 159 liters) as established by law or usage.

I'm going to bogart all of the HF engines.. I'll buy em all up at $50 bucks a pop.. Then when gas gets around 5 bucks a gallon, I'll sell em to you poor bastards at a thousand a pop.
Wouldn't that be a change.. Street racers bragging about gas mileage instead of horsepower...
HF swap baby! 56 miles to the gallon!

Too bad the economy and therefore wages aren't keeping up with inflation. At least not in my area.
