Even if drivers say they're not drastically altering their gas-buying habits, some gas stations are noticing a big difference. "We're selling 3,000 gallons less a day," says Gabriel Cortez, manager of a 76 station in Beverly Hills with middle-of-the-road prices. The current price increase is the most significant one Cortez can remember in 31 years working at this station, and he's fearful it may cause irreparable damage to the business. "The owner is getting nervous," Cortez says. "This is a disaster."

I used to hang with those LA boy's over @ Labasaus.org

My life wuz threatened many times due to the warnings I posted about Peak Oil. This wuz back before 08.

Some ppl only believe what they wish to be true. To this day, I'm sure they still ain't got it.

If the price of gasoline and other oil based products increases, many people will be forced to buy less of other things. This puts downward pressure on prices of these other things. The drag of huge debts which siphons purchasing power out of the economy, and the price pressure of oil which also siphons purchasing power out of the economy does not bode well for a recovery from the current depressed economy.

Disintegration of the industrial age is happening before our eyes.

For one the sheeple need to get over the idea of driving those big 4x4's and SUV's. Has anything changed? Nope. Piss on them.

I am seeing a lot of people in bus stops lately in Houston

One of the fringe benefits of living in MA is I don't have to deal with the high gas taxes that I did in CA. I remember when I first moved back here in 2008 and gas was like 25-30c cheaper than the west-coast. It really put some perspective on my doom-o-meter. I would be freaking out a lot more if I still lived in SoCal.
