A couple of people have told me that Dan Rather did a report on government estimates that gas will go to $3. If it does it will kill my little tourist town on the Oregon Coast, so I'm curious if anyone has the skinny on the matter? Thanks...

No announcement yet.
Anyone hear anything about $3 / gallon gas in the US?

Hey, Lancer!

"That's about half the UK price."
Yeah but you guys still have trains. Mass transit. Hey, there are tracks into my town, used by the logging companies that are having their way with our forests...! Those tracks could carry tourists too.

The regeneration going on here is extensive - they are spending hundreds upon hundreds of millions - probably over a billion all in all. Yet no changes to public transport, which are sadly lacking...it is what is holding this city back.Speaking of Erith:

"You're joking. I live in a large-ish town just 10 miles away from one of England's biggest cities and there's no train link. British trains are rare, unreliable, extortionately expensive and prone to crashing. It's a joke.

"Sounds similar to Hull in public transport, only the bus system. Most of the rail infrastructure throughout the city was ripped up in the 50s, along with the trams and have never been replaced. The traffic is becoming staggering, yet no moves have been made to address this major issue, despite the city council having made staggering amounts of money with the Kingston Communications flotation - at one point they were, in terms of assets, the richest city council in the country with assets of £2.5bn...alas the collapse of the telecoms finished that off...that kind of money could have paid for a pretty extensive mass transit system many times over for the city...but they squandered it on doing up council houses and corruption.

This sounds like the same mess we've gotten into in the US. Cars cars cars... if gas really goes up we're screwed.
che, oh ya I recall now. Let me know if you ever come back for a visit. We'll have us a Poly meet, drink, take some dumb drunk pics, post em to open ourselves to the dirision... Looking forward to it, pup.Long time member @ Apolyton
