re: Given time... An assumption that wasn't part of the discussion. We were talking about a major geopolitical disruption of supply... that wouldn't play out over a long period. re: Also in addition to driving less people would accelerate slower, use brakes less in non-emergency situations etc, if they had to pay $10/gallon for gas. If they had to pay $10 a gallon a whole lot of people couldn't work. For a whole lot of people, $3 a gallon makes working barely profitable. But that's not the point... the point is that we could have less supply than we need to run our economy. re: Given time people would get more efficient cars, or change their living and working situations so they live closer to work. Since we wouldn't be "given time", don't you think it's better to get out ahead of the situation? re: As for tourism and malls taking hits. Sure they would. But they also would under explicit rationing. Right!!! You got it! That's why we desperately need to move to transportation energy independence. This "war on terrorism" is a sideshow. We need to defend ourselves on the economic front.
