It's because you haven't won anything against big oil

Headline- "Oil prices hit a new record near $51 a barrel on
Tuesday as a prolonged U.S. production outage following Hurricane Ivan
attracted fresh speculative buying. "

I remember years ago agreeing with those who said the oil supply and demand
curves would come together sometime in 2003-2005 or so; then feeling that I
may have been acting like a "chicken little". Well, it is right on
schedule, just like King Hubbard's prediction of the US peak decades ago.
He was ridiculed, and off by only 1 year.

I just junked my car and bought a $225 bike trailer, so we are a 1 car
family.

Thats assuming current supply will not rise which it will, the market always
adjusts itself

And do you mean L Ron Hubbard? He was a flake

No, Robert Haston means the geophysicist M. King Hubbard who developed a
theoretical model that stated that the rate of oil production was a
function of the rate of discovery of new oil fields.

Nothing at all to do with Scientology.

I was hoping that wasn't the case, I looked up King Hubbard on Google and
got back a lot of L Ron stuff

Of course not me individually; a collective "we"- and a small "we" at
that- from Chinese rickshaws to upright delivery bikes in Japan,
German and Swiss ventures to velomobiles, mountain bikes, department
store bikes, all of which recumbents is a very small part of.

The basic point is; that while seeing headlines like:   
-------------------------------------------------------
Update 19: Oil Prices Hit New Record, Reaches $51.48
10.06.2004, 06:21 AM
-------------------------------------------------------
- a segment of society can shrug that off and get a 6 month supply of
Tri-Flo lubrication for a couple of bucks at their nearest Longs
Drugs, and spend serious money at bike shops.
