Will we EVER see Gas UNDER 1.25 a gallon AGAIN?

[barman]

J, I don't disagree, nor am I unaware of how even incremental increases in price will have an unbeatable ripple effect on all our economy.

I just believe the negative ripples will be shortlived.

Now let me clarify. "Short-lived" in the context of our country's entire history.

I bet it takes a good 2-5 years before we see significant gains being produced by Americans moving away from a petroleum based society to that of an alternative. And that's just seeing the initial gains. Those will be occurring even as many of the negative ripples are still prominent and even as many aspects of our world seem to be 'suffering' while the much needed paradigm shift begins rolling inexorably forward.

Then in years 5-10 more advantages to the alternatives bear fruit and the negative ripples effect continues to dilute as smart American (and other countries as well) know-how leads us to embrace the smarter alternatives while also finding ways to continue benefitting from petroleum, even as it is costing 2-3 times what we currently view as "high".

In years 11-20, the shift will gain huge momementum as more and more creativity helps not only the U.S. but also the rest of the world move away from a petroleum based society to a WIDE range of alternatives.

Evolution is not without it's painful aspects.

I just have a lot of confidence in myself and my fellow man to do just that - evolve for the better, gas prices be damned.

I thought you said you did not agree...

Good points, I hope I never have to pay 3 dollars a gallon though ! Ouch!

While the price of gas goes up people will go out and trade their v-6 car into a 4 cylinder so YOU CAN USE LESS GAS.If 3 out of 10 every americans would by accident, then General Motors would be rolling and the united States would have a lower unemployment rate.


By 2006 hydrogen fueled cars will hit the pavement.Another way for the arab to drink his oil.



Why the fck did my gas station go from 1.669 a gallon no later than 1:15 pm est today, then at 10:00 pm est tonight it is 1.939?



What happened acouple of arab prisoners passed away?


march on US Army until DUST fills the midde-east! We shall overcome the MISERY of what the ARABS have CREATED.When this does happen and most if not all arabs are gone then we can party and be at PEACE.When the middle-east is DUST, then Jesus Christ will arrive!

Until then, carry on big bullie. USA USA USA USA USA USA

Gas prices will never go below 1.25. Such is life.

I see it this way. I drive a gas guzzling SUV. You have to have them here. I can drive about two and a half hours in the car before it reaches a half tank. Filling the tank at two bucks a gallon is about forty bucks a tank.
I can drive that gas guzzler for four bucks an hour! hThanks pretty cheap in my opinion. By the way I run synthetic oil and have a KN air filter.

 

[Skyweasel]

Do those things really make a difference, I thought it was marketing hype.

Gas will never get below 2/gal again, oil is running out and that's reality.

 

[WINNINGHAND]

If it goes down to 1.60 again, it will be a miracle.

stop complaining like little bitches about paying for the cheapest gas in the western world. your lucky your not getting taxed 75% on it like any 'reasonable' country should.

AEX2345, the only reason why any REASONABLE country is breathing is because we, the United States allow you too!



Without the United States half the world would be where all arabs should be......
