Everyone better get used to this, because the prices are not likely to drop much in the future. This is why the rest of the world has thought we are crazy for driving our big SUVs and trucks - Europe pays two to three times as much as we do for gas! It's time to rethink the cars we drive and rethink public transportation in this country. OR, adjust budgets to fit in this expense. I actually think this could be a great A-ha! moment for this country.

My thoughts exactly. However, less discretionary spending means that we are in for a bumpy ride for now until things work themselves out. A lot of folks (myself included) have to cut back on certain things which leads to trouble for certain industries that cater to the "extra things" in life.
