It's not optimal for sure. I'd love to see gas prices lowered. Heck I'd do a big happy dance and buy everyone a round at the bar if prices got down under $2/gallon.

But as long as people rely on oil, the oil refineries will have us by the cajones. There's absolutely zilch anyone can do about it OTHER than start encouraging and using alternative energy sources.
Alternative is great for going to the grocery store. We like to travel. Big trips. As in driving from here to Alaska and back. No way to do that in a battery powered car.
