Here is a link to to previous thread, which was locked. It was locked because a few forum member began talking wreckless politics. Please keep political comments to yourself in this thread. <br /> <br />http://www.trains.com/community/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=13781 <br /> <br />Notice that the original thread was started in March of 2004 with gas prices at that time being $1.69 for regular unleaded. We are now currently about $1.30 over the price from just 2 years ago. <br /> <br />If you read that thread you will see where the $3.00 a gallon was predicted long before last summer. You will also read that the oil companies have already (back in 2004) set a target for $5.00 a gallon. I don't think we will see 5 buck a gallon gas this summer, however, I can see it going well above the current 3 bucks a gallon maybe all the way to $4.00. <br /> <br />The previous thread also discussed how the oil prices affected railroads. We also discussed alternative fuel methods. <br /> <br />We as a country need to do something NOW to begin to lessen our dependence on foreign oil We import 2/3 of the oil we consume. <br />
