Considering the price of a Whopper at Burger King has gone up consistantly with inflation so should gasoline and other petro products, yes I know it's "un-american" to pay more then 50" for gas. I felt that way about a whopper when it went above 59", now it's almost $2 and the quaility is way down.

See this article about Oil 1973 vs 2000 the similarites are scary, and so are the consequences -- surfed on to this article from http://www.Itulip.com it's in .pdf and 50+ pages a good read though - and even worth saving!

Could not cut+paste from the .pdf to post some snipets :{
