I am pretty happy with prices down here so I decided to lock in gas prices for the next year at this site <a href="http://www.petrofix.com" rel="nofollow">petrofix.com</a>. I'm happy to pay $2.58 for the next year, I just don't want to pay $5. Gas prices are definitely crazy.

There is absolutely no guarantee that oil prices will stay where they are. If the price rockets back up to $150/barrel, we're all going to wonder why Al Gore was so darned smart and we were all so dumb to suddenly drop all the alternative energy methods. Consumers (and Katsman) have to get away from thinking that oil is going to be pumped out of the ground at $50/barrel forever. It's not. And yea, even the hard-core Republicans are beginning to realize that there really is something to all that pollution warming up the planet. I don't want to wake up in 10 years and find that oil is $250/barrel (why is anybody smirking? a few years ago you all laughed when somebody suggested $100/barrel and that seems not bad a bad price these days) and we've closed down all our alternative energy programs. Sure thing, the oil companies and their owners and major shareholders (sunuvagun those Republicans are everywhere) will be laughing all the way to the bank and will be able to afford alternative energy, but where will we be? If the US auto industry is almost bankrupt, it has only itself to blame. I'm going to keep working on wind energy, biogas and other sure sources. Here in Israel we have almost NO petroleum. As we say oy-va-voy on us if we get caught with oil skyrocketing up again and no other way of making our cars and trucks and ships go.
