What did 2008 have to do with the price of gas? At most, the $4/gal spike might have triggered what would have happened anyway, thanks to an overheated market and housing bubble.

This time around, I can't see it doing more than setting off another round of complaints from the usual "but cheap gas is my Gawd-given right!" whiners, and maybe increase sales of Volts & Leafs - if they aren't already sold out months in advance of production.
