Sorry but if anyone is sitting around waiting for gas prices to go down significantly don't hold your breath... never going to happen...EVER...The prices may average a little more across the states but these gouging prices are here to stay and rise while oil company's post record profits...So you can do your part and buy a smaller car and/ or a bicycle and hope that we get some leadership to start on a viable energy infrastructure to be in place in 10 or 15 years or We will really be in trouble...It's sad that greed overtakes what is the right thing to do and that is to leave the World a decent place for future Generations... Instead We are pillaging and polluting It, sucking out every last non renewable resource dry at any cost to milk every last penny... Rather than doing the right thing and finding clean Renewable ways to supply our energy needs... Hasn't everyone noticed that you can't see the skyline in many cities world wide because of the pollution that never leaves these cities and do you not think that this is the inevitable future ahead for all, pollution does not have borders... America could lead the way and one day be respected again if They would start perfecting already existing technology and then It could also produce/sell it worldwide as a new green export. Someone has to start but it will probably be Canada because we may have to wait here in the U S A for a Generation of greedy "Old Schoolers", "the haves", to die off of old age before they let go their tight grasp before there are more regular people, the" have nots"(and that includes have not clean air or water by then too) that get it and force change albeit maybe too late...
