For All Of You Hoping For Cheaper Gas

If the consumption of fuel continues to rise as it has in the past (extrapolating) from where we are now, we'll be out of fuel in 20 years. Makes looking into a hybrid a much nicer option.

hybrids.
anything where you have to depend on someone.
They should start coming out with cars that are solar powered, and have quickly regenerative batteries.
Why depend on someone for your fuel needs anymore?
Those oil companies, how much money have they made since the 10s or the 20s? Trillions? Thousands of Trillions? Who knows..

gas is going to hit record highs this summer, and probably new record highs the summer after that. its just going to get worse and worse. i've also herd that we could run out of oil in our life time, and if thats true than we got bigger things to worry about than putting gas in our cars. the world runs on oil.

Oil isn't going to run out.
Some more BS by environmental groups that oil companies picked up on to justify ridiculous prices.
Oh well. Deal with it. Theres no point in getting angry over something you can't control or have no influence over.

You're right the supply is still ok. We aren't in a crisis...yet. and there is still a huge supply that is still untapped. but its just in remote locations.

Hybrids too. Until they come out with a car that pumps out 300hp running on something other than Oil I'd never buy one.
