If the american economy is so weak that it collapses because of that it would be moronic, those gas prices are comon in europe. Of course because gas prices are like that here we have much better public transport.
It's gonna hurt, people are already feeling the pinch. I filled up last night for $67, had to look at my ass in the mirrior to confirm it wasn't bleeding from the rape. At $170 for that same fill-up, that's less money in the economy with no added production or benefit. Of course it's going to hurt our economy. There are no alternatives, its not like American's are out on joy rides, they need to get where they are going. My car gets 30+ miles per gallon highway, toyota prius at 40 isn't going to change my world. I think hybrid cars are a marketing tool and nothing more.
