If you read the Article I gave a link too you would have read that no Cars are not even the major source of oil consumption. It would waste more oil to replace every car no with one of those "fuel efficient" ones. It does not matter how much gas we use. There are things out their that waste more oil than all the cars put together. You can look up their sources.

Haha. Yeah. I don't really think oil will run out. What will probably happen is that those greedy ass oil business men and women will charge us 20 dollars per gallon of gasoline. An oil change will cost 100 dollars, etc. If I got money I would also buy Fiji, and kick you out. Hahahah. Unless you wanna go to war for the island...nah jk. Laughing

Will gas (87 octane) drop back under $3.00?

People are just waiting for this to happen so they can stop complaining about the prices when it was only a few years ago that we were hoping the prices would drop back under $2.00.

8-03-06 I poured Magna (87) in Tijuana for 2.60 dollars a gallon, not 9/10 like in the US. I also heard a gallon is around 3 dollars in Mexicali. This is one of the reasons you don't see large lines of Mexicali people at Arco anymore.

The US likes to rip on Arabs (OPEC) and Venezuela for raising the price of crude oil, but what about this latest news coming out of Alaska?

We all know that gas prices always increase for the Summer season. Right around Memorial Day weekend gas mysteriously goes up then fades in September.

Then with more and more people trading in their over priced gas guzzling SUV's and V8 trucks for fuel efficient Japanese models, I see a strong correlation with the new Alaska pipeline problem. People need less gallons of black gold, so instead of losing billions and billions of dollars the American oil monopolies have found a clever way to stick it back to the consumer.

You just gots to love Capitalism.

I wanted to throwin my .02 here.
I was in Western Europe 3 yrs. ago...if you think $3 a gallon is expensive, try the equivalent of $6.40 in London or $5.80 a gallon in Nurenmberg, Germany. I think that it will take $4 a gallon prices here in the USA to get people to drive more fuel-efficient cars. I recently switched to a 4 cyl. 2006 Toyota Camry and I average 26-27 MPG on the freeway with 2 teenagers and 2 adults on board AND the A/C on....the car's backseat is more comfortable than my wife's F-150 SuperCrew and that gets only 1/2 the MPG (I use the P/u only for hauling, no long trips!).
I know that the biggest problem is supply/demand...you can see this everyday here in the Valley when people drive these hulking SUV's and trucks going 75-90 down Hwy 111 and I-8...check it out and prove me wrong: the people with the largest, most wasteful SUV's are hauling ass passing everyone else like if it was a NASCAR race!
During Memorial day and the start of the summer season, gas prices jump because there's more people on the roads on trips...usually in large vehicles. Here in California, we burn approx. 42 million gallons of gas PER DAY. We produce about 40 million and get the rest from other states, thereby increasing costs yet again. Add the instability of the Middle East, the rapid development of China and India, and you have the recipe for a perfect storm for high oil prices and an economic stranglehold for the USA.
Check out Fareed Zakaria's articles in Newsweek " The Real Story of Pricey Oil" May 22, 2006 and "How to Escape the Oil Trap" Aug 29,2005.
Wake up America, it's our own gluttony that has gotten us into this mess.
Best Wishes,
