Cool. Thanks. :) The USA actually has kept fuel prices pretty low compared to the rest of the world. It's finally catching up with us, we've kept our use high while, as you correctly point out, some segments have kept our production throttled. Something has to give, & we are still not near what they pay in other countries for fuel. Our ecconomy will have to adjust. Will be a bumpy few years. A steady higher fuel price will allow us to adjust. Steep ups & downs in fuel prices, or more meddling by the govt to keep prices low - will be bad. It would be good if the price of gas held where it was for a while. And it should stay at the 2.25 or so level for a while. People will start getting a bit more efficient at this level and allow things to stablize. Should we go to $3 a gallon, then it will cause tougher problems, and a whip effect where our ecconomy goes up & down rapidly. Not so good. Trying to get back to $1.40 gas would prevent any more production within this country, and keep us inneficient, and cause a really bad ecconomic wreck when things finally catch up with us. So, about $2 gas right now is probably the best thing..... --->Paul
