My Father and Mother who live in the great white north is today paying .99 cents per liter, thats about 3 1/2 bucks per gallon! I visit there once or twice per year and I've noticed people sill love their SUV's and loooong trips. Hasn't slowed them down any and I'm not so sure it would change too many folk's driving habits around here?

Supply and Demand?

It's not your standard(no pun intended Mr. Rockafeller) supply and demand system when the suppliers are all in cahoots with each other(see OPEC).
It sucks and there is nothing we can do about it, except FISH AND FORGET!!

It would be great if they advance that technology one step further and then market it better. Market it like Honda is doing with their new hybrid Accord. Most consumers don't want to compromise performance in the name of saving fuel, but if they can go faster while saving fuel they're all for it.

Since this has become less of a "how will it affect your fishing" and more of a political thread, I'm gonna shift it over to the Scuppers.
