$7 gasoline in the near future???

While this is doing terrible damage to our economy and the general psychie of the average US consumer, I see it as a good thing in the long term. People will live closer to work and the city. We will use oil/fossel fuels more efficinetly and will reduce our Carbon footprints on a nationwide scale.

Plus I believe this will self correct in some aspects as I think that oil is being traded as an inflation hedge much more than a commodity with supply and demand issues. When the stock markets stop sucking and the dollar gains some semblance of stability, oil will trend down, atleast to a point where demand isnt falling anymore. Maybe 2011?
When that finally happens, advances like plug in hybrids which require no new major investments in infrastructure and offer significant fuel savings (I personally would fill up like 5X a year instead of about every 3 weeks) will mean US demand will be far below the previous levels seen before 2008.

You would think GM would be in a full panic mode to get the Volt onto lots well before 2010.

Gold and oil are just punking Ben Bernanke right now. What a clown.

Simple answer why they dont make “pretty” hybrids or electric vehilces is physics. Its all wind drag, and what we usually consider pretty has alot of drag. Plus you have to consider the extra battery weight and e- engine weight without changing the center of gravity too much. Really, if it was easy to do, they would have already done it.

asianautica,

I hope you are right about people seeing the scooters. I think a lot of people are just going to drive less rather than give up their cars and trucks. They are probably waiting for the prices to come down on gas, but this time, I think it is staying high for good. The government makes tax money from the sale and they really have not done anything since the last crisis in the 70’s other than to lower the speed limit. I do not expect any help from either party on this issue, but I did call the Governor and Feinstein to give my two cents.
