At this point in time, the guys running the pumps know just the right amount of pressure (Price vs. supply) to apply to keep us hooked and keep us from massively shifting to the other alternatives.

I'm really don't know too much about oil production other than what is witnessed as prices at the pump.
I've noticed ever since I began driving in the 70's that gas price rise is seldom linear, but rather follow a staircase pattern. Lately we notice it more because the stairs are suddenly steeper.
Consumers get used to the price and complaints fall off.
Prices go down a little, which makes almost everyone happy.
Then the climb begins and continues until we are ready to break out the pitchforks and go hunting, then they stabilize the price again and the cycle continues.
I wouldn't mind exchanging an exhausted (For other terms) hydrogen pack at the station instead of pumping gas, as long as it doesn't cost too much more than what we currently have.
What if gasoline eventually reaches $4 - $5 or more per gallon here....At that point the hydrogen packs may look more attractive?
I also think those big wind farms are a beautiful sight, almost an elegant concert.
