I have never said you were snivelling.

I said the US still had some slack before their economy got killed, because we have shown for years that you can run an economy with higher gas prices too, and even stay on the market together with the US economy with its lower gas prices.
I realize you didn't say I was snivelling. But you responded to my post to snowcelt regarding the snivelling, so I was still on that track.

I just don't understand why every time this subject comes up, the Brits and the Canadians can't wait to come on and talk about how their prices have always been more. What is your point? We know this. I'm all for raising gas prices over time in a controlled manner. It's these random jumps that suck. And Congress comes up with brilliant ideas like extending daylight savings time as a solution. :roll:
