Ah, yeah. All the people talking about it all the time aren't
really concerned.

Sure they are talking about it. But when push comes to shove they
still drive the same way they did when gas was 1.50/gal.

No they don't. For instance: General aviation. Pretty soon, only
the wealthy will be able to afford it. That will hurt the folks
making $25,000 teaching them to fly, and the businesses that are
struggling to make ends meet, but it sure won't hurt the super
wealthy.
At 10gph, I'd fly a hell of a lot more if fuel was 1.50/gallon. To
me this seems abundantly obvious.




They did this past holiday weekend. The downward trend in GA since the 70's
is not inline with the price of gas. Something else is at work there and
until the aviation community figures out what it is the trend will continue.
