You have not yet seen a high price.
If your talking about the price of gas, what are you paying for gas right now. A year ago we were paying an average of $1.90 for gas. Two years ago, we were paying an average of $1.55. It is now $2.63 at the local Safeway gas station. It could go as high as $3.00 within weeks. These are high prices to me.

Obviously. Show me all these people who are changing their lifestyles?
True. We are Americans, we like our luxuries. Unforntnatly, we don't change unless we are forced. And even then....

Many people even leave their computers on 24/7.
What does this have to do with the price of gas?

Just another change when the price gets high enough.
I think this is the krux of your idea, the price gets high enough, Americans will change thier habits. I don't think there will be enough change to offset the rise in fuel costs.
