Yeah so with gas at all time highs this is outta control, It is probably worse then the Katrina thing b/c i mean we had some control over that. Now it appears gas will be at 3.00 or greater for the majority of summer, if not more than that. I'm assuming the public outcry for this is gonna be quite severe enough that either the strategic reserve is gonna have a pretty big dent in it, or the gas tax might be "taken off". That does not mean anything b/c we will all be paying higher taxes then next year. Personally I'm moving over to a diesel truck and making Bio-Diesel. I took a course in Petroleum engineering and a few of my buddies are going down that route. Its cheap as hell to, right about .99 a gallon for a few months and then the price drops about 10 cents less, once you have covered your inital investment. Hardest part is getting the oil from places. So far I'm pretty sure were the only ones doing this int he area, so where going stock pile oil and then just refine it all at the same time, and pick one of our houses as our "gas station" . In further economic light, should gas price be about 3.00 a gallon there will probably be somewhat of a recession in the economy. The middle class will fade away and there will be a clear separation of who has money and who doesn't. Not overall a good thing, and hybrids are a joke, for most of them still sell at 3-10G's over sticker price. At that rate, you might as well buy a ****ty used car and you will still break even with the hy-brid, in the long run.
