The station two blocks down the street. Prices keep rising, and Americans keep driving. Worse, they keep driving SUVs. The crotchety old man in me says, "when I was a kid, I remember my parents paying $.98/gallon for gas and thinking that was highway robbery." Where will prices go from here? Will we continue to demand and get artificial prices for our gas, or will the price of gas finally reflect the scarcity of resources and the huge costs created by the pollution produced by cars and driving? I'm guessing it's only a matter of time before we're paying double these prices or more on a regular basis. It's sad, in a way. They high prices may mean no more On the Road -type rights of passage for Americans, but on the bright side perhaps we'll start putting some serious resources toward alternative fuels and lifestyles that don't rely so heavily on cars and gas. Maybe.
