    I just brought an old gas lzuzging vehicle of mine back into service.High gas prices = more oil stock profits = more disposible income for me to buy gas for my old guzzlers.If prices hit $2/L, I’ll probably upgrade to a Hummer. That’s the paradox of high oil prices. Producers need to sell less of their product to purchase (import) the goods and services they need from the ‘outside’ world, hence they tend to consume more energy internally.
