I agree a sudden increase would be very bad for the economy and people. However, a gradual (but faster then current) rise over 1-3 years to ~$10 would be a good thing. Nothing is going to make people change unless it hits them in the wallet.

On the other hand, I think it would be a great start if we could remove all the subsidizing of oil that is going on here so we know the actual price (well closer to at least).
