It seems to be doing back down again thankfully. Hopefully the trends in the US are for using less gas over time, keeping the price of oil down and gas down. I'm getting hit pretty hard too, this beast only nets me 15ish on the highway. I'd be in about the same boat though with a Cummins since diesel is over a dollar more expensive in my parts of the country. I hate filling her up but I love driving this truck
Back up again today... This oil bubble is going to last a decade or more, we need to start thinking about alternative energy now so that when the bubble breaks we'll be in that much better a position. Using algae to make biodiesel, building solar power plants in places like death valley, embracing nuclear energy, more electric cars - all these things will help. But they need to become a lot more prevalent to have an impact and I fear that they'll just be the same old alternative energy that we've been talking about for 30 years.
