You have described the fact that we are like a person driving blind, who may or may not drive off a cliff at any moment. What is the person to do?  Keep driving?  Oh,yeh! That's what we're gonna do. Keep drivin'. It's the Amurrican way of life you're talkin' about. Non negotiable, as they say.

In the mean time, I'm stockin' up on some more oil. I've already got the Prius. Thanks for the tip.

Bought 4 cases of Chevron DELO 400 15w-40 (6 gallons/case)last night.  1 1/2 years`ago I paid $32.something. 1 year ago I paid $38.99.  6 months ago i paid $42.99.  lats night I PAID $48.99.  Shit this is unreal.  I cannot raise my prices to this extent.  
Funny - there was a young 20 something guy at the door checking reciepts.  He saw my cart full of oil and said "Next time it will cost you an arm".  I told him the price story here and he said " it is only going to get worse"
I think people have a sense that it looks grim, but just like the people on Eastr Island, lets build more McMansions.

One and a half years ago, crude was about $50. Now it's about  $75. Maybe there's a connection?

Always remember that the last foot hurts the most when you drive off the edge of a cliff.
