Thing is the "fixes" being sold to us aren't what the public wants. Americans like big comfortable cars/SUVs/trucks. We don't want to be shoehorned into a tin can and risk our lives just to cut our gas price down by 30%. Americans want to be comfortable and be able to haul their family (and their crap) around without costing an arm an a leg. Last time gas was over $4 and went back down, the first thing that hit the skids was hybrid sales. Go figure. You'll never get the extra $3-5000 back from a hybrid unless gas is over $4 consistently for 5 years.

Brad I think you're right to an extent. Speculation on oil futures needs to go. Let the market dictate the price, not speculators or some production group strangling us like OPEC.
