[QUOTE=bitonti;4233338]hmm. maybe we should use less oil. any economy geared toward success only when oil is cheap is doomed.[/QUOTE]

Brilliant!! Why didn't anyone else think of that. :rolleyes: We have a consumer based economy right now. When it costs $80 a week to fill up your tank you have less money to spend elsewhere. When it costs $2000plus per month for family health insurance thats less money to spend on other stuff. Thats how our economy works or doesn't work as it is today.
