"I am happy that fuel prices are high. Necessity is the mother of invention, and if we are to wean ourselves off of oil from rogue states, we need to do it soon. If fuel prices go back down... most people will breathe a sigh of relief, but less willing to trade down to more fuel-efficient cars. In Germany, 40 mpg is the standard. My friend's Audi gets 58mpg in the city! Gas is $8 per gallon there, but it is not a burden due to the high mileage." - Kevin in New Jersey
