Quite frankly, it's global warming that has me worried more than the price of fuel. Seeing where Europe is today, I've already resigned myself to a future $5.00 per gallon gas price near the end of 2009 if not sooner.
But as some will argue, car's aren't the only polluters. It's the industries in other parts of the globe that don't even attempt to cut back (i.e. China!)
They are a throwback to our industrial revolution but with lousier quality control (I think that's an oxymoron in China). Actually, I take it back. There is no "quality control" in China because the quality is all EQUALLY ****TY so there's no need for controls. Keeps the prices down not having to check everything.
Ok, enough of that.
Thinking of the future when I retire, I figure the trade off will be no more daily commuting, increase my driving the Cobra until I lose my left leg... then maybe I'll convert it to an automatic.
In the near term. It'll just hurt everytime I fill up regardless of which car I drive.
