Why is gasolne so expensive---just that nothing else. Probably a combination of Geo. W.'s pigheaded policies, the selfishness of those who really "need" SUVs in big cities, and, finally, the "who cares" attitude of those with the gas guzzlers until their financial bubble bursts.   I speak of the U S only since I do not claim to know reasons elsewhere.

The price of gasoline in the U S is now taking approx. 12.00 US out of the weekly money of families.   In a low to middle income family that can only help slow the economy, cause layoffs, and, finally, lead to if not a depression then a recession.

I have heard, however, that in California the Gov. and others are upset and trading their Hummers in for SUVs. What a wonderful and selfless thing to do.(This being electronic posting---I add the disclaimer about this being alleged humor).
