Notes:
"If 2006 was the year of energy highs"There were rather high prices this year.
"...but high global demand will keep oil and gas prices up" One reason for the high prices is how much gas people use.
Energy efficiency would help the market.
"Increasing global demand and stagnating(definition-allwords.com:To be or become stagnant.
Thesaurus: decay, deteriorate) will keep energy markets tight." Consumers do not like the prices, but part of the reason they are what they are, is the amount of gas we use.
There are many factors, like the weather, travel 'lack of production" that also contributes.
The way a person 'touches' the gas pedal affects amount of gas used, leaving the person responsible for how much they use and pay for...
In 2007, it is predicted prices will be down slightly, no drastic changes (9cents)

Questions:
How many times does the average American go to a gas statioon?
Carpooling is advertised, but if more people took part in this would this help the problem?
Are slight changes in gas prices noticed more when they go up then down?
Who is more responsible for the prices-consumers or providers?
How much affect does the type of car you drive affect your usage?
If this high price trend continued, what would the future look like as far as transportation?
