How would one go about getting ready? Buy a small fuel efficient car? Check, I have that. Don't do any unnecessary driving? Check, I don't. I usually only drive about 2,000 miles per year. I have a 2002 Saturn with a little less than 20,000 miles on it.

So, I don't worry for myself but I do worry about the economy. It seems that we need fuel to be reasonably priced for a healthy economy, among other things.
