$127+/barrel right now....easy $150 by august, electric cars and trucks better come soon...before we all go under.

one thing people have to get over is "filling" an electric car with electricity. How long are you parked daily? I'll bet there is an outlet no too far from where you park and the infrastructure is very easy to modify to accommodate this. Here is a picture of some such chargers at LAX when pilots who used GMs EV1 would use the opportunity chargers at the airport. Unlike conventional automobiles, electric cars can charge when parked. You will never have to go to a gas station again!
