Re: Gas Prices (post Katrina)
While stationed in Germany, in 1980, I watched a German fill his car and pay over $50.00. We are spoiled rotten. Even with the prices where they are, a poll today showed 35% of the people polled have no intention of changing their driving habits, and you wonder why the gas companies continue to raise prices. It is simply a matter of supply and demand. They have it, and you want it!
We have to change our life style, there is no other way to control, not only the price today, but the availability of future oil supplies at prices the average person will be able to afford. Today's children need to be educated in driving smaller, more fuel efficient vehicles, or they may not be able to afford to drive anything.
Gas in North Texas, Denton, Lewisville, etc., ranged from $2.96 for regular to $3.16 for premium. I filled up at $2.96 yesterday morning, at 5:30, as the attendant was changing the sign to $3.16.
