7$ dollars a gallon for Gas are you ready?

Buy Hybrids. They get 60 miles to the gallon in the city. Cut your gas consumption in half and if you live in the USA big yearly tax breaks for owning one.

Once they start making some good looking Hybrids they will take off I think. The ones now look crappy.

It does not cost more to make a good looking car then it does to make a ugly one.

i write this all off as hysteria. we have soo many cornfields right now we are paying farming not to plant crops. (check into it its all true). you can run that stuff in a regular vehicle if you want to without any conversion, i know friends have run it with no probs for grins. if it comes to 7 bucks a gallon people will start using the alternative. there are also other ways to make gas/oil, which i bet would come in alot under 7 bucks a gallon.

also, as soon as prices creep up, if you know economic theory, the potential for profit will incent additional competitors to enter the market with alternatives both in forms of fuels and transportation modes.


short of an inflationary cycle in the economy driving the price of gas to 7$ i dont see it happening in real terms.

I do think it will rise but not to that amount.
