Actually, gas prices have been steadily going back up since the November election (a more transparent vote-bribe I've never seen). In Baltimore, gasoline was $2.04/gallon on election day. A short 64 days later, it's up to to $2.39/gallon. So it's going up at about a penny every other day. So if that progression follows to summer, gasoline will back at $2.99/gallon (120 days from now at 0.5 cents per day.)
It seemed to me that it was the $3 mark when people who were generally uninterested in hybrids suddenly wanted to save gas.
I am very certain that the psychological threshhold will be crossed this summer -- especially since Bush isn't going to be getting any smarter, less corrupt, or less greedy.
Hope is like a candle held against the night.
