Consider also that heating oil prices and nat gas prices are much higher this Winter. This will be another large drain on top of gasoline costs.

The markets certainly appear to want to see something good happening in 2005. It must be all the chatter in the media that the economy will be much stronger with oil prices expected to drop back to normal levels.

There is a question I've been asking myself:
Yes, people have been spending money they don't have for years. Eventually they will have to stop, but why can't they keep doing it for a few more years?

EDIT:
Today I was at South Coast Plaza - very big expensive shopping mall southcoastplaza.com.
Usually it was easy to find a parking place except during X-mas shopping, but today it took 20 min to find a parking place.
