Regardless of what OPEC may or may not do, anytime you hear an explanation of high gas prices there's always the factor of "strong demand" - meaning, there are so many gas hogs on the road that we're sucking the supply dry.
I've said this before, I'll say it again - when the prices shoot up, people will dump their gas hogs at bargain prices, and they'll be sold off cheaply to people who can't afford to maintain them well. I saw it happen with the big cars in the 1970s and I am certain it will happen with SUVs. Then we will have a plague of these huge clunkers causing (more) death and destruction on the roads.
PS. in the local news, yesterday someone lost control of their SUV, went airborne across the median, and landed _on_ another vehicle. Must have been trying to dial the phone or something.
