$5 gas makes sense, since it will force many new tech's to open up ($$$$$) and then 3-5 yrs. the market will be flooded and force prices to go down to <1$ -gas.
hopefully americans will remember to vote with $$$ for american technologies

Yeah those "low resistance" tires are SO great. You know that low resistance is basically eco-speak for less grip which decreases things like braking performance or traction in poor weather conditions. Basically they sacrifice safety and drivability for mpgs. Damn you GM for holding out on those wonderful tires.
But you are right the price of gas will push efficiency tech, though that really shouldn't come as a surprise.
