I get the feeling that we are just beginning to see a permanent rise in gas prices. Peak oil production is coming soon or is already here. I remember back in the 70s when gas prices rose and everyone ran out to buy a compact car. Then prices fell again and everyone was buying mom vans and SUVs. High gas prices have been Europe's reality for a very long time. Somehow, Americans believe it's their god given right to cheap gas.

Thoughts?
