re:there would be a significant drop in gas/oil usage. Maybe traffic jams would become less frequent also. Gee wouldn't that be a pity if demand went down and gas at the pumps got cheaper. Think of it, you might then pay under $75 to fill up the tank of your truck That would only work if you believed in the laws of supply and demand, but AS tells us the oil biz is full of bushies that price fix - so they'd just raise the price on a gallon of gas.

"...significant drop in gas/oil usage. Maybe traffic jams would become less frequent also. Gee wouldn't that be a pity if demand went down and gas at the pumps got cheaper A few years ago we had to stop watering our grass because the supply of water available for residential use dropped over a 7 year drought period. Revenues to the provider dropped drastically as a result. So the provider had to charge much higher prices to keep the small amount of water flowing for residential use. Drop in usage drove prices higher.
