everyone in 2000 said "omg if gas hits $2 i'm never driving again", then they said it last year about $3. well now $3 is here to stay, and no one i know is driving any less.
i'm just as guilty, but my point is.. if you could sell a $70 join that converted the same as a $20 joinpage.. which are you going to push?

Yep. Anyone that thinks gas will ever be $1 or even $1.50 a gallon again is crazy. Doesn't seem that long ago that $1.50 a gallon was high. My next car will be a hybrid since I know $2.50+ a gallon gas is here to stay.
SUV maybe 15 MPG aveage American 12,000 miles driven per year( probally more ). That's 800 gallons at $2.50 = $2000 a year in gas. That's crazy. I remember in early 1999 I was paying 85 cents a gallon. Those were good old days.
