There was increased production as well as conservation. I should know that as I lived in Wyoming and Oklahoma growing up, and remember the drilling booms. Okay, Nickel.

It's $2.44 now but it still would have a loooong way to go. I’ve already weighed in on this one on my blog — $2 gas is gone forever. It’s $2.44 now but it still would have a loooong way to go.

Some will find alternatives or solutions. Life will find a way. Oil companies are earning now, but they are actually killing themselves. Some will find alternatives or solutions.

The increased oil exploration was spurred on by the 1970s oil crisis. This opened up the North Atlantic bonanza, etc. I hardly think that you can make the case that oil consumption throughout the 80s and 90s was lower than in earlier decades, even if efficiency went up (until the mega-SUV boom, that is).

Personally, I don't think that expensive gas is a necessarily bad thing. At least it causes people to think twice before pissing away non-renewable resources.

It could happen again if folks switch to more efficient autos or take the bus, or whatever.

Maybe I better not go on...... Okay, well I will say that $2.00 gas would be fine with me, although I'm sure that would just mean I'd have a better chance of being run over by a Hummer.
