inwoodNYC Rookie Author New York Posts:1 Points:15,030 Joined:Jun 2009	Message Posted: Jul 4, 2009 10:11:27 AM Ignore inwoodNYC Report Abuse This "article" is not a fact-based report -- it is someone's opinion. He is projecting what he thinks could happen if gas prices keep going higher and are sustained long term. He is preying on the reader's fear of higher gas prices, increased taxes and dying in a fiery car crash. That's sensationalism. BTW, $1 per gallon for gas? Gas was $1 per gallon back in 1994. What in this world has not raised in price in the past 15 years? We can't possibly expect to pay the same price for gas as we did 15 years ago. Be realistic.
