That is only a maybe. I still don't think it will have that big of an impact. Just look at the fuel an average family uses just in commuting to work for example. The big oil companies are banking on our not being able to do anything about it either I bet.

The higher the fuel prices get, the higher everything else is going to cost. It is like a giant triangle that just keeps compounding. We will be in a recession within a few years of these effects IMHO
