It shoulda been the book cover for "on The Road" or an E. Annie Proulx novel. AS for oil, I can't get over the relationship that Americans have with gas prices. There were screaming, banner headlines in 2004 when WTC crossed $35/barrel. With oil now more than 4-times that "shocking" threshold, the mass media has to chase, or cascade, its own hyperbole. I always believed the super-spike forecast in 2005 for oil: http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2006/06/12/bps-bold-petroleum-prediction.aspx As you see, it was widely ridiculed.
