GF, I will bet you $10,000 that gas prices will go down again at some point in the future. Every time prices rise I hear prognostications about them never going down again. We heard that the last time the dollar went limp combined with the hurricanes impacting production in the gulf states and yet prices did drop when the dollar strengthened and production increased. It boggles the mind to hear people say such things about a natural resource because it defies all history.

I still remember when I worked in the oil industry in the mid 80s and was in Oklahoma at a restaurant and saw a really old, yellowed cartoon that read, "Dear God, please give us another oil boom, we promise not to piss this one away". It is a natural resource impacted by the value of the dollar and supply and demand and until its all gone, which isn't happening anytime soon, it will go up and down in price and I am willing to bet a lot of money on that.
