Yes, but a lot of that goes into maintaining/building the Interstate Highway System. It's very expensive to keep up such an extensive system! I think its money well spent. :laugh:

High gas prices = fat americans finally getting more excercise and polluting less.

High gas prices are part of the reason europeans are much healthier than americans.

Is anybody familiar with the concept of "Peak Oil"?

In a nutshell: Oil production follows a Bell Curve. On the upslope of the curve oil is abundant and less expensive to produce. But after the peak, production costs rise as the amount of available oil falls. We won't know if we've reached the peak until afer the fact, as production levels from year to year begin to drop.

We won't run ou of oil for a long time.... what will happen is that we will run out of the CHEAP OIL which our industrialized society has depended on since we became industrialized. And without CHEAP OIL, pries on everyhing will start to rise, as basically everything from food production, distribution, to manufacturing, etc.... depends heavily on oil. It's been cheap and abundant for a long time.... but that will soon be a thing of the past. (Except for America, whose administration is heavy into the oil industry, and will do whatever it needs to do to keep oil cheap for us as long as it can....)

It all sounds pretty plausible to me, but I am an impressionable hippie who believes everything I read on the Internet. Here are some links for more reading if you're interested.
