I know I'm not the only person who's worried since I love to drive, but what do you all think the price of gas will be in 10 years? Will we even be driving cars every day? If fuel prices are so high due to global demand, will we all migrate towards the cities and out of the suburbs leaving the burbs to become abandoned? Will interstate and international leisure travel come to a standstill? Will we have no choice but to buy locally produced food?
At some point, a decline in demand will lead to lower prices, but the speculators, the oil companies, and geopolitical maneuvering have thrown everything out of whack. I think it will be a very different world in ten years. This is all based on an educated gut feeling I have, but I think the party's over. Saab/GM better start making electrically assisted bicycles (with lots of safety features and comfortable heated seats).
