Another great article making the larger point:
People in every other country around the world are paying about twice what we pay for gas, and they find a way to live with it. Right now we only see the short-term cost, but maybe it's time to look at the long-term benefits of higher gas prices and finally embrace reality and encourage them to go even higher.
We're getting closer and things are slowly changing, but to see real change we need to head for $4 a gallon or break the $5 barrier.
What we really need on top of this increase in gas prices is a whopping big federal gas tax. Don't expect to see such a move from the Bush administration, but a $1 a gallon tax on gas would push the price high enough to bring about immediate change...
The other day I actually saw a Hummer stretch limo driving about.
