Maybe the gas prices are due to oil shortages...You foos want to read something scary about it? They back up their claims and statements pretty good so you know it is pretty accurate, take a look yourself at this website http://www.lifeaftertheoilcrash.net/

This is likely the case, but don't you think major American corporations like GMC and Ford would have begun producing more alternative fuel vehicles than they already do at this very moment in order to adapt to Peak Oil?

Unless GMC is getting ready to really call it quits by simply branding Japanese cars with their logo.

Regardless, we're already too damn dependent on oil, so we are basically fucked.

Yeah but, if you read the article it explains why producing alternative fuel vehicles is not possible. It takes so much oil to get food on our tables and things like that. It takes oil to produce the batteries for the scooter and get them shipped to the valley. It takes oil to make tires for the scooter, bike, whatever. A lot of the tings we use, have things that were made by oil, with oil.
