Sweet Fancy Jesus! Oil Prices Up Again

Oil is clearly heading past that $100 mark. Every time I fill up the car, I'm seeing that it gets more and more expensive. It was $40, then $53, now it's $58 to fill 'er up. Thankfully, I changed jobs so my commute is significantly reduced. I was filling up twice a week, now it's down to every two weeks.

What sort of budget adjustments will I have to make if prices keep going up? Well, for me..none, because I'm rich. But, for poor people it certainly has to be something they think about. It upsets me because I hate to spend money on something like gasoline. On the other hand, those hybrid cars are so f'ing hideous I couldn't possibly be seen driving one. It's quite the conundrum.
