[Healeys] Gas and Oil (only indirect Healey content)

[Bob Spidell]

A few years ago myself and others got into an online argument with 
someone who proclaimed $4/gallon gas was right around the corner, and 
that would cause the US and world economy to grind to a halt.

I have to eat a little crow because, obviously the $4/gal mark has been 
reached and then some.  However, the rise in oil and gas prices didn't 
come as soon as my "adversary" claimed, nor has the world economy come 
to a halt (at least not yet).  So, if that Lister's still online 
congratulations on calling the situation correctly, if not a bit 
prematurely (if I recall, I felt more expensive gas was probable, but 
that the increase and effect would not be as severe or come as soon as 
the other Lister predicted).

FWIW, though I enjoy cheap fuel as much as anybody I've never felt it 
was a divine right and always tried to use fuel--and other resources, 
for that matter--efficiently.   My hobbies (driving and flying) sure 
have gotten expensive, though.  Guess I'll have to dip into my son's 
college fund a bit more ;)
