I remember 99 cent/gallon gas in 1999 - Cross Plains, Wisconsin. Chris
Curt Raymond <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:I agree in principle but the problem is that people are really really dumb. I talk to people every day who are convinced that gas prices will be under $2 sometime soon. To me thats just foolish. I'm moving to more economical vehicles (the 190D and when I replace my Dakota it will be with something smaller) because I figure it won't be long until $3 gas is a reality. In the 12 years since I graduated highschool gas has gone from $0.99 a gal to $2.37 (today anyway). I don't think it takes an economist to expect that in 2018 gas will be something like $3.77, probably even more. The one thing that hasn't been mentioned is the McMansions. Why does a family of 3 need a 4000sqft house? Houses have been made way more efficient over the years but now we blow it by having way more house. Not only is it costing is in fuel to heat it but in building materials and the trucking to move said materials. Restraint is clearly not in our vocabulary. -Curt Date: Thu, 02 Feb 2006 09:08:04 -0600 From: "Kaleb C.
