    gas will continue to go up until demand goes down, because the OPEC barons have made it quite clear they don't feel like increasing supply

    It's not just OPEC.
    Poor little BP who doesn't use Saudi oil only turned in profits of $7.6 BILLION for the 1st quarter in 2008.

    demand isnt going to go down unfortunately, unless places start putting in better mass transit systems like new york and DC have. until them people are going to continue to drive like this.

    or move, or get a job closer to home... or car pool....or change cars. ;p any of these things will help drop demand without public transit.

    Because people in Marietta aren't about to let a Marta rail line get built in their side of town if they can help it...

    Werd! No Marta to Duluth. :wtc:
    I refuse to live in Duluth. Anyway, moving outside the city would add to my gas burden, not reduce it. Most of my driving comes in going to see friends ect. Those are short runs now. It wasn't that bad when I had the Vibe and lived in Duluth, but I still racked up about 100 more miles a week then than I do now.

    nice. how much will that run you, $10k? for about a 15 mpg increase?

    calculate how many years it will take you to break even on that (it's probably more than five)
