Customers already are controlling it! I took the kids on a 14 hour drive to St. Louis the other day - we were cruising along in my little Cougar at about 68mph (to save gas) most of the time. I was continually getting blown off the road by Suburbans, Excursions, Hummers, 4 door duallies, even RV's pulling boats, you name it... As long as so many people don't care how much they have to shell out for gas, the demand is always going to be there. And that's just Americans - just wait until folks in China and
India get a taste of riding in cars and decide to ditch the bicycles and motorcycles... A story on NPR radio the other day said gasoline in Great Britain was about $8/gallon. And my daughter just got back from over there - she said traffic was just as bad there as any US city... So my guess is, gasoline can at least double or triple in price before people start changing their habits enough to REALLY decrease demand... Just my teaspoon of gasoline's worth, Howard
