There is this attitude that one will pay whatever to get their gallon of gas, and forgot any lessons of supply and demand of the 1970s. Oh, they will remember the lessons when one has to wait in line 5 hours to fill his gas tank when supply don't meet demand at any price....nothing like seeing everyone top off their tanks every day or every other day. Of course, they are rich enough to hire someone to fill their car with gas every day when supply don't meet demand. <br /> <br />In my opinion we are only a couple of years away from supply not meeting demand at whatever price. It was so bad during the 1970s oil embargo one member of the family had to keep a watch on their car's license plates and go without sleeping. People would do anything to change their license plates from an even number one day to an odd number the next, especially those on the road.....much less stealing your gas..... Where did you think the plot of the movie the Road Warrior came from? <br /> <br />However, the next time the supply panic hits, there won't be an embargo to lift..... <br /> <br />I won't change my ways, if I want to drive a hummer, or a large pickup/suv that don't get 20 MPG, I'll pay...... Gotta have that HEMI.
