[QUOTE="brett636, post: 351067, member: 249"] I think the damage has already been done. As prices rise people begin to find ways to use less. I know that both Toyota and GM are developing plug in hybrid vehicles that won't require a drop of gasoline for the first 40 miles of driving. Rumor has it GM already has plans to build 100,000 of those vehicles a year. Depending on the price I hope to pick one up myself so unless I am going on a long trip I can stick it to the Saudis and the rest of OPEC during my weekly commute. It wasn't that long ago President Bush made a trip to Saudi Arabia to try to convince them to increase production, but the Saudi Prince responded by saying "supply and demand are at equilibrium." and that was back when oil broke $120/barrel. We should use these times of high energy prices to look to ways to ween ourselves off of middle east oil. Minus oil the GDP of all the middle eastern countries combined would not equal that of Romania, and the Saudi's arrogance regarding oil will be the start of their decline. [/QUOTE]
