How high will gas prices go before the people join together in protest??

My guess would be in a few years it will be over 8 bucks and then all he** will break loose. From the 1980’s all the way to 2003 it was only 25$ a barrel!! In early 2007 it was around 60$ dollars then rose to 92$ later that year! Now it has reached a record high at 117$ a barrel at 3.50$, as of today! Alaska’s oil is running low, Canada’s oil is running low, and militant groups are attacking crude oil pipelines. Bush talks about needing to get off of oil dependance, but nothing has been done, just crappy hybrids and the death of the electric car. Will there be something similar to the Vietnam Anti-War protest if this gets worse? It’s virtually impossible to satisfy a growing population dependant on oil. Will it be a Mad Max postapocolyptic future?

– p.s. I didnt make the numbers up
Yeah it’s sad, we will always be slaves to oil, as long as the government controls the oil, they control us.
I would like to just put the blame on Bush, because that would mean gas prices and the war would end when they left office, but that’s not gonna happen, there will be a new president, probably Mccain because presidents are usually x-military , and gas prices will still increase,the value of the dollar like Ron Paul said will decline, the war will still go on and Americas military will still "police the world".

Maybe it is time for us to protest the companies who continue to suppress the technologies that we could use to power things without the need for fossil fuels. The fuel cell, for example,which takes the "h"(hydrogen) out of h2o (Water), is used to help[ power the Space Shuttle. Why not vehicles? The Shuttle has been around for 20 odd years. So has this technology. Answer: Petrol/oil = money. Money buys patents for alternative power sources. Alternate power sources suppressed. Sad but true.
