It will save you so much money in the long run, and yes, gas will definately climb, especially as we get into World War III with iran (and
therefore the rest of the world.)
Any war with Iran would not be WWIII. It could be a debacle without clear objectives (see Iraq), but WWIII? No... The big complication would be the
reaction of other nations.
We need to end our dependence on foreign oil sooner rather than later. Thing is, between Alaska and the Dakotas, we're sitting on tons and tons of
the stuff, but we haven't built a new refinery in decades, or made real efforts to tap into these sources, as we've become used to simply purchasing
foreign oil.
There's really no reason the US should be dependent on others fixing an oil price. The good news is, they'll definitely do what they can to keep it
somewhat down (i.e. release some reserves), as hyperinflation is bad for everyone.
A lot of Europeans just don't get how BIG (area wise) the US is, and how far things are away from each other. It's why we drive so much, and why we
have mass transit only in big cities.
