I'm probably one of the few that would have preferred to see gas stay at higher prices. No, I don't want to see anyone freeze or not be able to drive to work.
Until gas rises and stay at a price higher than we are willing to pay long-term, we will continue to use it like water. There are brilliant advancements being made in alternative forms of energy, and until they have enough incintive to keep moving ahead on these areas .. there is no market.
In the one week of gas dropping to close to $2 and eve down to $1.91 in some states, the SUV sales have taken off again.
The US needs a 12 step program to get off the idea of they must use so much crude/ oil or related products.

And fast.
