I haven't read the entire thread, so somebody may have already snapped to this, so forgive me if I'm being redundant, but the same sort of thing happened during the 70's gas "shortages" when prices started escalating. Was stupid then, and still stupid, IMO.

Don't be silly. It's not the people in SUVs that whine about gas prices. They can afford the car they can afford the gas to go with it.

It's the people in cheap cars that are sensitive to high gas prices. Why do you think they've bought a cheap and less comfortable car but with a high mileage to begin with?

Do you know what the #1 complaint of SUV owners? High gas prices. Yes that is right, they are so dumb they buy the SUV, and then complain about the high cost to fill it up. You can still fill up a cheap ole corrolla or civiv for under 15 bucks, and you only have to do it once a week. Trust me economy car owners do not care that much.

btw not all small cars are uncomfortable anymore.

And damm I payed $1.87 for a gallon of gas yesterday LOL.

I myself think this is dumb because everyone will be filling up today and the day after so what's the point?


Its generaly dump, coz US have no free capacity on turning oil into gas.... thats the problem.

You know, if you drive ONE car and fill it up ONCE a week...high gas prices mean nothing.

You're getting 30 MPG out of a Focus? What did you do? Take out one of the injectors? :aok

Why would the oil companys build more refinerys if they are at 93 percent? Waste of money. It would be like have excess invatory.
