I am quite certain we will never see 'low' gas prices again in any of our lifetimes. All of the analysts I have heard are saying the same thing.
I believe we will see gas to go $5.00+ per gallon within the next 3 years.
I'm beginning to think the steam engine wasn't such a bad deal after all. With the price of coal being so low, we could just pull up to the 'bin' and shovel (instead of pump) the fuel in. I could handle that. The only problem would be the pollution caused by all of the little smokestacks on our cars but I think it would be cool enough to see all those little smokestacks that I could live with the pollution.
And don't tell me that a car is too small for a reliable steam engine that gets great acceleration. Technology is all about miniaturization.
