Ooh Dat's Pricey

Ooh Dat's Pricey
Current Mood: Amused

Gas prices hit an all-time high today. I sit back and watch this development with interest. I am intrigued to see how much people are willing to pay. I would imagine that it has already hit a few at the bottom of the economic ladder pretty hard. But when I look out the window at I-5, thousands upon thousands of cars just keep on cruising right along. Radio traffic reports continue to rudely interrupt my news and baseball games. Air still tasted pretty sooty on my walk home. So, my unscientific on-the-scene report is that not much has changed as of today.

Personally, I don't really think much will change on a widespread basis until, oh, around $10/gallon. Most people I talk to, while certainly unhappy about the situation, don't seem inclined to give up their cars or make any drastic changes anytime soon. Anybody else have a dollar-per-gallon guess?
