When people stop driving massive SUVs with single occupants while making 1 hour commutes at 75 miles per hour...

When people stop paying five bucks for a cup of coffee at Starbucks...

When people stop paying $1.29 for a bottle of tap water...

Then, and only then, will I gripe about paying $2.00 a gallon for gasoline.

Think about what's required to refine crude oil (essential to the world as we know it) and get it to the consumer, vs what's required to produce a cup of coffee or bottle of water (luxury items).

Gasoline is a bargain.
