These items you used for comparison do not hold our country a bay if prices increase. They do not determine whether or not the country fails...oil does.
We do not "run" on shampoo, coffee or tea. (notice I left out beer)
I can go for a month on a Lb. of coffee or a bottle of shampoo or a box of tea...about $4.00 each....how long does a gallon of gas cost you and how long does it last?
I don't know about all of you but I respect the hell of of gas and diesel. Gas in the Rubicon and diesel in my boat.
Buy the way...diesel IS a cheap waste product. It cost nothing to make.
Respectfully...stop being so understanding. See this as it really is...

You are making my argument for me. Absolutely, oil (gas) is far more important than shampoo, coffee, tea, soda or bottled water (note: I did do not include beer). Not only is oil absolutely critical to our lives - but it is also finite. It took millions of years to be formed, and we are draining it away at an astounding rate. We have already used up the best and "easy" supplies and now are left with the dregs. Let me make myself clear.
We do not have a right to cheap and abundant oil! If you think you are hurting now, in the not-too-distant future you will remember $4 gasoline as the good old days. As a matter of fact, you may be nostalgic for the days when you could buy gas anytime you wanted it. Exxon and other major oil producers are warning that the days of easy oil are over. That is code for "You ain't seen nothing yet."
