Thanks for the Links Krieg I will have to give them all a good read.

I do agree with you that the current cost of gas Is related to Saudis cutting production. But I think that is only part of the reason for the Cost. Some other things I think add to the problem are...The falling value of the dollar (thats proven), Oil speculators ( accounts maybe for 30 or 40 dollars on the barrel),and Increase demand from India and china and our war on terror. I think all those factors all combined are causing the gas price hike.

But either Way like I said before The high price Is a good thing overall because it got Us all here on this website and at least it opened the discussion on Energy Efficiency and the need for sound energy policies in Washington.

Thanks again for the great links. And thanks for Enlightening me on some of these issue's.
