If things keep going as they are we wont be driving cars that run on gas. There are electric cars in development and other forms of fuel being developed.

Fill your tanks only half full uneless you need to make a long trip.You do not need to stock Bush's & Cheeny's gas on your shelf.This will cost the oil company's $3000,000,000.00 a day and will leave only half the room in the supply tanks To but in new gas.The tankers will be stacked off the coast trying to unload.I remember coffee going to $5.00 a pound in the seventys.People stopped buying and in two weeks the price was down to $1.50 a pound.Lets go Amercians the power is in your purse's and wallets "Let's Roll"

if you mean just 20 pounds that would fill me fuel tank here in australia at the moment, its around a factor of times 3 for the conversion so 20 pounds equals around $60 aud, but no its not really alot....it may buy you a few meals at macca's or a shirt but thats it.\n\nMitch

id say keep them money will come...  I'm in Louisville KY- by the end of this summer it will be almost $5 a gallon- its already $2.85+  don't loose it. we still have a untapped source in Alaska.  you know as well as i do that our politicians wont tap it until the rest of the world is dry.  then when they finally do it will be ridiculous. you will be rich.

Well with the look at gas prices rising every year...   Yeah I know sad..  I would say yes\n\nExxon Mobil  these money grabbing corporation is not going anywhere. Even if we change to a differnt kind of fuel... They will still be using oil... for the next couple of hundered years...\n\nI pray that judgment comes before... that happens..

The almighty dollar is more important now than what will happen in the future.\n\nIt's like the oil companies.  We'll be out of oil in 50-60 years, but right now, we can make money off of it, and we'll just let the younger generation take care of it.\n\nWell, I AM the younger generation.  About the time I retire, the world will have almost NO oil left.  That will be a catostrophic event.  Homes will go cold, tractors will not run, and no one will be able to get to work.  They need to fix this now.\n\nIt's the same with Global Warming.  Except it's a LITTLE further off...hopefully.\n\nI'm sorry for getting a little off topic.  I;'m using it as a point, and I hope everyone understands.  I'm not one of these crazy, neo-enviromentalists; I actually am interested in politics.  And all this has to do with politics.

I read a report about 6 months ago that said gas prices would have to exceed $6.00 per gallon before it would even change our personal driving habits.  I believe this and I also believe the first 2 answers you got.  If the price gets high enough, will figure out something better.

$1.95 per gallon during the quarter ended September 30, 2005\n\nAirlines, today, average about 40 passenger miles per gallon - a statistic that compares favorably with even the most efficient autos.\n\nSo a rough estimate is fuel costs = miles X (airplane capacity) X $1.95

They're high.  But I think don't think we're in the "too high" range yet.  That'll probably be this summer and the year after.  We're still around 80% of the all time high for gas compared to the oil crisis we had years ago.

When oil hits $100 or during the next war we start.  So in about 2-4 years.

Certainly not the bunch of oil-money sucking goofs in Washington, D.C.  (and I'm talking about both sides of the aisle, for those of you who still believe there's a difference).\n\nGood old ingenuity will do it, and enough people are sick of the status quo that I think it will happen within the next 5 years.  I see a lot of people talking about electricity for cars in Y answers--forget it.  Batteries too heavy, most electricity still produced using fossil fuels.  "Hybrids" are smoke and mirrors--still rely on fossil fuels.  My question would be, "Which intelligent people out there are smart enough to buck the system and introduce some new, truly alternative energy sources, not to the hide-bound corporate types and the politicians, but to the average Joes and Janes in this country who would like real options?"

At some point (are we already there?) we will hit what is called peak oil, meaning we will pump more oil that year than was ever pumped or will ever be again.  Then, unfortunately, things will get scary as we are compteting with India and China for oil.  What happens if China makes a move on the oil fields in the middle east?  Are we going to go to war for it?  This doesn't have to come about if our government actually plans for this by funding research into alternative fuel sources.  We can't wait for government, though.  We can change the way we live - enough with the SUVs, turn your heat down, ride (God forbid, if you're an American!) your bike to the store, ect.  Small changes can actually add up if we all do it...or even if 10% of us do.  The key is starting now...not when its already a crisis.
