[quote user="UPRR engineer"] <p>I saw they want to raise it a $1.00 a gallon smog tax. I watch alot of C-SPAN waiting to get called to work.</p><p>World Oil Production has peaked, plan on the worst. One plan is to raise the price even more to get people to use less and plan better when they use there cars. Theres not a single thing we do as americans that doesnt tie into oil. [b] GET READY [/B] </p><p>[/quote]</p><p>You are right, raising gas prices to get people to conserve has been a preferred approach by many. They tend to lecture us on how good we have it compared to Europe. However, most of the people who prefer this rationing-by-high-cost approach want the price to be high because of added taxes. They don't want high prices if it is going to oil producer income.</p><p>Personally, I do not believe oil has peaked. There are agenda driven reasons that people declare that oil has peaked. One of those reasons is to promote public sector funding in the name of searching for alternative fuels. The people who don't like oil would like to convince us we are running out of it.</p>
