Good point I will have to agree with that. I still think they should drill in Alaska and Canada too.

It will never go that low again... This graph is pretty cool. Shows the red line in equivalent 2008 dollars vs the price at the time (black)

We had a similar situation happen when I was running an Enterprise rental car office. I had a car prep block the pump with the next car until we came back with others. We decided to fill our personal vehicles first, then my bosses boat, then the 15 passenger vans, then...as we rolled up in 4 Cadillac Escalades that came in with < 1/4 tank from the dealership...THEY CAUGHT ON! I got mine for my ride so I didn't mind. I expected to go to jail.
They never said a word despite knowing we were coming back every 5 min. for gas.
