You guys should take the time to understand that in few years no one will be able to afford most of the life we live in now.
Do you want to know why?
Imagine the next few years when petrol will cost $2 a litre, then $3 , then $5 and eventually $10 a litre.
Do you think it`s not going to happen?
Then spare 1 hour of your time in watching this free documentary that was created in 2004 and already warned people of WHAT was going to happen and IT`S HAPPENING RIGHT NOW : PEAK OIL.
Here`s the documentary:

Then check wikipedia:

In June, 2008, Alexei Miller, head of Russian energy giant Gazprom, warned that the price of oil
is likely to hit $250 a barrel sometime in 2009. Miller said that while speculation had played a role in oil prices, "this influence was not decisive."[100]
Bloomberg reported that as of mid-June, "At least 3,008 options contracts have been purchased giving holders the right to buy oil at $250 a barrel in December".[101]
On 26 June 2008, OPEC President Chakib Khelil said in an interview: "I forecast prices probably between $150-170 during this summer. That will perhaps ease towards the end of the year."[102]
Near-term peak oil proponent Matthew Simmons predicts
a rise to $300 a barrel or higher by 2013 as sweet crude petroleum becomes more scarce and major producers begin failing to meet demand.[103]
You need to understand that time changes, and our society is on the edge to a big change.
Maybe we`ll have to do what our grandfathers and grandmothers were doing: using horses and start again producing our own veggies in the backyard.
An energy crisis is ahead of us and I think we are getting hit badly soon. Also, don`t forget that world population is now about 6.5 BILLIONS and we shou;ld be about 9 BILLIONS already by 2050. If we don`t have enough oil now, what is going to happen then?
