Yea, I though the same thing. But I also remember the gas rationing in the 70s where you were only allowed to buy gas on alternate days (based on the last digit of your license plate) which could be the reality again if we continue our current rate of consumption.

And I really don't get why people stand in line at a Costco for 20 minutes to save 15c gallon. $3 savings for 20 minutes "work"? Is their time really that cheap?
