So what. You reap what you sow. You cant expect to go on raping the planet and not see some consequences from your actions at some point. The spikes in petroleum based products are what you get for building your entire economy on a non-renewable resource of which the major supplies are out of your jurisdiction.
We deserve whatever we get.

If you cannot throw it at least you can always drink out of it. - Ernest Hemingway If it is life that you feel you are missing I can tell you where to find it. In the law courts, in business, in government. There is nothing occurring in the streets. Nothing but a dumbshow composed of the helpless and the impotent. -Cormac MacCarthy He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God. - Aeschylus

Personally, I can't wait for prices to go through the roof, and people to start going crazy because they can't do their normal routine. I dream of tidal waves.

I just think society as a whole has a big lesson to learn before this is all said and done. Gas prices being the least of our concerns. Indeed, this is just the tip of the iceberg. The beast will show its ugly face soon enough.

trendal said: I told everyone I could last night to go fill up their tank if they needed gas, because I had a hunch prices were going up at least 20-25 cents per liter. Only one of my friends believed me, but he didn't seem to care enough to get any fuel.
Hey Trendal, if your talking about me, I went last night with my gf's car to fill up at 95 cents, now it's 1.17
I didn't have my car so I couldn't go get gas (As I still have my mom's car, stupid car being in the shop)

2.69 was the average price here.

Gas here is now in the $3.16 to $3.20 range for regular unleaded.
On the plus side, my car gets 27 mpg on the freeway at 9 over the limit, the speed I always drive at. On the down side, I have to use 91 octane or higher.
On the double plus side, I don't have a commute. I work from home.

You weren't paying attention? Or too busy laughing at the stupid hippies?
Nah really... it's not your fault man. Veggie fuel has been around for over 100 years. Blame the government and the oil companies for supressing it from you and everyone else.
