This thread was started at the height of worldwide gasoline prices. They have come down considerably since then, showing the cyclical nature of most supply and demand commodities. What is lost here on many non-americans is how dependent our country is on gas, given its sheer size, for transporting everything from food to construction materials. This doesn't even account for our love of boating recreation, a huge industry and part of our economy and job market. Gas is part lifestyle, part necessity. What americans miss is how addicted we love our cars, myself included. That said, leaps have been made in increasing miles per gallon, and looking toward alternative sources to power cars. But there is nothing like the hum and power of my car engine when I get it out on the highway!
Not sure what your point is. Are you arguing against anything in particular?
