You are right, oil is way too high. I wish I knew when it would come down to a reasonable level, but I fear we are looking at the future. I know Europe has been living with these and higher prices for a long time. I don't think they have any sympathy for us.

Part of the problem is that it has happened so quickly - if we had eased up to these prices over a few years, then we'd all be better prepared to adapt with smaller more efficient cars and the like. But no, it's been WHAM - here it is and no one is prepared.

I'd sure hate to be a car dealer stuck with huge trucks and SUV's on the lot. The RV industry is hurting as well. I saw a dealership this week with some of their bigger pickups parked out at the curb with $12,000 off signs on them.

Fortunately my company pays for the gas in my truck. I gassed up twice this week. That's $155.00 for gas in one week!! People on $400/month car allowances from their companies are really getting a bad deal right now.
