It's also going to get some people off the street and change auto buying habits. The avg Joe isn't going to be able to afford to drive anything that isn't small and practical, which is fine with me. I'm not into eliminating SUVs and all gas guzzlers ... if you can afford it, fine. They wouldn't be a problem if only a few rich guys had them.

And there's a really, really evil part of me that enjoys watching people whine and cry about fuel prices as though they're being horrendously oppressed. It's fun to see who or what they will try to blame next. Dellusions of entitlement are hilarious ...

I also have an evil part to me that likes to watch people complain about it. If I can get a deal on Biodiesel right from the manufacturer near us soon I am going to laugh even more as people can't afford to drive. Last night I went for a short drive and the ENTIRE 4 lane road was empty half the way there! No cars behind me! This was at 7:40pm! Usually that road is busy as heck, I was amazed, and cruzed happily along in the open road-scape.
