Though there will be some settling after this crisis is over, I do not think that it can be compared in any way with the 70s gas crunch. As soon as the
oil exporters got what they wanted things went back to kind of normal. This time I don't think they will because of many factors, not the least being countries like China, Japan, and others that are buying more and more
oil. And they can afford to pay more for it than we can. The past is just that, the past and is not a guide to lean on in this situation. And this harping about this car gets 32 MPG is a joke. I had a 58 Ford way back that had the police 332 in it and if I drove it right it would average 25 MPG on the freeway. Are you telling me that it has taken 40 years of technology and these cracker box cars to get 30+ MPG. A friend of mine has an Oldsmobile that is several years old now and it still gets 32 on the freeway. The old way of things going back to what they were is over.
Edit: Ralph, if a person has the money to do that, then they probably can make a fortune. But up here there are very few with the kind of money that it would take to pull that off.
