WR - View Single Post - So... Gas is approaching $4 gallon

I haven't had a car in 2 years but I'm still appalled by the price of gas in the DC metro region. The cheapest I've seen is $4.02 per gallon. I take the metro to work and now more people are riding, which is a good thing, I guess. We're sort of stuck over a barrel at the moment(pun intended)but maybe people will get serious about conservation and developing other energy sources be it fuel cells, cold fusion, wind, solar, whatever. Why not all of the above?Even if gas drops back down it won't ever drop below $3.00 again and we'll have been conditioned to think that's a bargain.Why did I stop driving in spite of being able to afford a car? I did it to get uncle sam off my back as quickly as I could. I'll have those back taxes paid off soon but I don't think I'll rush out to buy a car anytime soon.
