Yep -- I think gas is going to get real scary in a few years.
Fortunately for me, the number of miles I need to drive for personal reasons is very small -- probably less than 100 miles per week most of the time. All the other driving I do is work related, and thus eligible for reimbursement through my mileage expense.
It makes me wonder what's going to happen to these guys that have 40-50 mile one-way commutes to work -- it may reach the point where drives like this become financially unmanageable.....

I kinda assumed it was something like that, but 10 cents a gallon difference is a lot, no? That's what I was wondering.

Have you noticed that our politicians are in the process of making the USA more like Canada? You can change your location but things aren't going to be all that different in Florida, other than warmer weather.

Yeah, civil unrest will bring thoes gas prices down. It'll also encourage our politicians to use our military on our own soil, against us.

I dont know why you think Im trashing America, because Im not. Im very glad to live here, and I feel safe. I do understand the points you are making, but I have a bad feeling about whos in charge, thats it.
