Wtf is with the hysteria? Gas isn't going to double overnight. At the worst, we'll eventually hit European prices -- in the next couple years. I'm not so sure that's a bad thing, either. America is spoiled with oil prices. Eventually, the dollar will get stronger and gas prices will go down to more manageable levels. Sorry to say, but $6/gal is manageable.
I've started riding my bike to work and enjoy the savings. I can easily afford the more expensive food prices, and then some. I haven't filled the car up in over 2 weeks.
