"It seems to me the "something else" category is getting bigger and bigger as we try to fix gas prices short-term, instead of looking at the big picture and discovering the true costs of the things which we desire. I don't think many people truly "get" the *actual* cost of the American lifestyle (and I include myself in here too). But, trying to keep prices low for the sake of low prices seems the least likely way for people to make more informed decisions about what and how they purchase.

I concur...but we need to lower the price NOW and use the time we gain to search for alternative energy sources. We need to lower the price so people can remain productive...and we can tax the gasoline and use those funds EXCLUSIVELY for energy research and development.
