And not ONE headline or even article
in my hometown newspaper on oil/gas
prices.

That tells me that we're no where near the
peak price.

Kunstler has the same opinion-

This morning's electronic edition of The New York Times displays not one home page headline about oil or gasoline prices, despite the trauma of the week just passed.

I was hitting google news a few times yesterday morning, and gas prices did not rise very far up their front page.  There was an "oil prices" article in the business section.

Given that google placement is driven by clicks/links, I think that means it wasn't getting much online attention.

On the other hand, it was fun to flip cable news channels about mid-day yesterday, when they were all running concurrent gas price stories.

Hello odograph.

Yes, the news is there.  but I still have to
hunt for it.  

It just doesn't have that "panic" feel to it.

You know, like when the cities turned off their skyscraper lights at night.  That sort of thing.

And the focus seems to be on windfall profits
tax.  Yea, that'll get more gas to the consumer.
