Unless you're braindead, you realize of course that the US has alot of public transportation also.  Alot of people just don't use it at all.  Now for me, sure, I would have to drive, but people who live in suburban areas should be taking the metro, carpooling, etc.  Hopefully, 3.00 gas will teach people to be better fuel consumers.

Buses will be raising prices due to this.
And anyways, a lot of areas of the country - particularly red areas - have sh**t for public transportation.

Yes, because not everyone lives in the cities. And I can't imagine buses driving 20 mile routes into the middle of nowhere to pick up   3-10 people. Sorry, it's just not very pratical to do so.

Gas is already around $2.60 here.  SF probably will hit $3 soon at this rate.

We have almost caught up to you guys in CA. We are up into the 2.20's. The good news is you can buy a fully loaded Chevy Suburban for about 25k dollars now.

California no longer has any gas station charging in the $2.20s.

Where I work I have noticed a LOT of the independent truck drivers are unloading their own trucks by themselves. We have an independent company that unloads all the trucks for us but now a lot of the indies are unwilling to pay the money to have someone else do it. The cost of diesel is actually HIGHER then regular gas here. Hopefully the high cost of gas won't keep all the yankees from making their summer visits here and I pray that it won't keep them away this fall.

According to this website, the cheapest regular is $2.27 (out of date, I think), and the cheapest diesel is $2.45.

Anyone know why diesel is so much higher? The refining process is a LOT lower for it then normal gas.
