I'll not disagree with anything you said (or the other posts about cutting back and all that). I'll just disagree that I'll do it. If I want to drive a truck that gets 17 mpg instead of 35 then I make that choice and if gas goes up too bad for me.

Sure, prices may go up but think what it would do for the economy to keep all these dollars circulating within our borders rather than the middle east and central America.
