I'm envious! Colin: Great blog, but I had trouble grabbing the feed. We fell out of my chair when I saw that gas sign. About that time in 73 I was in a black and white, 2 door Pinto myself. The only car in the world guaranteed to explode on impact. I'd give anything in the world to turn back the clock for a few days. No cell phones, no computers, no cable TV (we had 3 channels), no AIDS ... life was grand. Thanks for the comments.

Plus, so many hav been boosting their lifestyle with home equity, which has gone in the tank also. I think thats probably the reason for the current drop in driving, coupled with the fact that $4 a gallon seems to be a breaking point for many. Americans are in for several other shocks. The biggest is infrastructure. We've been rolling in esentially borrowed Hummers on roads that our grandfathers built and we fail to maintain. This free ride is going to have to end very soon and that's going to be a shock to the system. BTW, my dad went out and bought a Pinto during the 73 gas crisis. I really hated that car. I'm so glad the compacts and hybrids now are so much better to drive and ride in. Also, we can all do thing that can help us cut our own gas prices. I listed several tips and resource links in my post today at http://current.pic.tv/2008/08/21/5-tips-for-saving-gas-money-by-the-click/ Thanks for your post.
