What are you paying for a gallon of Premium?

Not nearly enough. I think gas should cost at least $6 a gallon, which is still stupid cheap. The straw that broke the camel's back resulting in the recession and financial crisis was the spike in gas prices in 2007 that our consumer's could not absorb on top of credit card and mortgage debt (the recession would have still happened, but less suddenly and with less damage). We are in big trouble if we don't start adapting our energy technology and infrastructure more rapidly. There is no reason why we could not be driving mostly electric cars now, fueled by nuclear and renewable resources, if we had a battery station at every corner along with a gas station. Why not drive up to Bill's auto and have your battery swapped out for a charged one, instead of filling up with dino juice?
