The only problem with $8 gas is that it unfairly places a financial burden on the poorest working
Americans. Gasoline is a much greater percentage of their income, and many have already been pushed past solvency by the price hikes so far. Except for the sprawl argument, all of Pummer’s points are dead on, and your refutations are weak. You want to keep the internal combustion engine around for ‘ol times sakes? Yes, GM closed SUV plants, but at the same time they ramped up production of the plug-in electric Chevy Volt. That is the real positive change that has already come from the gas hikes so far.
