So we cut back on our usage. We've been doing that these last few months. I remember seeing a report that said even w/ the lower gas prices, people are still driving less. I am just one of those people.
When the prices were higher, I started using public transportation. Right now, Super is down to $1.79/gal, and guess what, I'm still using public transportation, as much as I was when they were high.
I think people are starting to make a fundamental change in their driving habits, inc. the use of public transportation and in renewal-fuels. And I think you'll see this trend continue, with or without higher gas prices.

With gas prices lower, I'm still using public transportation to work. The only difference is that when I drive when I need to, it doesn't feel like I'm getting raped at the gas station. I hope that people continue to use less gas whether prices are high or not. Watching OPEC panic is a knee slap.

I bet those arabs are kicking themselves. Thats what they get for driving up costs to $4+ and now the economy is shit and they cant sell their oil. Boo-hoo
Now that the oil bubble burst (as all bubbles do), those same speculators made money all the way down by shorting. Investing 101.

Well, I guess for your profession,......you would like to see it go up. It is in your interest to go up....directly or indirectly.
