As I had predicted, the gas would hit the psychological barrier of $1.50 in 2008, only it came MUCH earlier than I expected.

I don't know if it will rise higher this summer, but one can safely bet that it will hover near or at $1.30 as we get into the "vacation period". Car drivers can bitch all they want, if they'd like to save money, they just have to ditch their cars. Or start their own carpooling service. Or move to Dubai. What's that? You can't speak Arabic? Well, tough luck, bubba. Stop your moanin' and start pedalin'.
