To most peak oil advocates, the thought of a smooth, if slightly uncomfortable free market driven transition away from oil dependency is completely unthinkable. It is inevitable. Gas prices will fluctuate with supply. In this specific case, the problem isn't even oil availability, it is refinery capacity, which has NOTHING to do with peak oil. Already, this latest price pinch is changing people's habits. The market will stabilize, and the next pinch will change more habits and change more habits. Why is this so much harder to believe than some impending fuel-price-induced doom for American sociaety?

Prices will continue to trend upward very fast, but with occasional dips down. I recommend watching "The end of suburbia" for an introduction. http://www.endofsuburbia.com/ matt Welcome to the world of post-peak oil.
