Both Qatar's oil minister and the head of OPEC can see oil hitting $200 a barrel before the end of the year and one analyst says gas could reach $7 a gallon within four years. That could mean cataclysm for the global economy.

This obviously relates to the other article about the decline of suburbia. But like the conversation chris and i had earlier today, the people who are going to hurt most are the people sitting in traffic for hours because of the mcmansion lifestyle. these are the same people who don't want the train system to reach out to their neighborhoods. oh well, that just means my house value will go up and why more people are moving back in town.

Just think - if the price of petrol keeps rising like that then before long you'll be paying the same as the rest of the world. For the record, right now where I live Unleaded Petrol apparantly works out to be $8.79 per gallon, and I know that the south of England and parts of Europe have higher prices than that...
