The recreational drivers/mud truck commuters/suv moms won't even blink at $3 gas, I guarantee it.

The FIRST time it hit $3 they freaked... for a week or two. Then it was business as usual. Subsequent $3 prices, when "revisited", aroused nothing.

Then the first time it hit $4 they freaked... for maybe a week. Then it was business as usual.

Might not even have another freak-out 'til $4.50 or $5 next time.

Metro is right tho', the media is always on the lookout for the next thing to over-dramatize so they will be all over it.

When folks start hurting and ask us about MPG, let's not shuck them with "tune-up" cliches.
Perhaps a group hug would be better?
