Man, 4 pages? Nice.

The problem with prices though is they seem to never go down. We have cases like after Katrina where they skyrocket to nearly 4 dollars a gallon, then go down to 2.xx. Then it seems low. But it truly never returns to prices that would match inflation. Blame it on the war, greedy oil companies, or whatever, but we really need to either pressure car manufacturers to make more hybrids, OR go with diesel. In Europe, they are having great experiences with diesel cars that don't have the same problems that we had in the 70s; the smell, high prices, etc.

The new Jetta Golf that uses Diesel beat the Prius for mileage.
