The Cost of a Quarter

This morning USA Today reported an interesting factoid:  "A 25-cent jump in gasoline prices, if sustained over a year, would cost the U.S. economy about $35 billion."  Hopefully hearing that will inspire people to explore alternative transportation rather than demand that the price of gasoline be kept artificially low.  Encouraging bicycling, walking, public transit, carpooling, etc. should be the obvious solution rather than threatening Iran with military action or drilling in the Arctic wildlife refuge.
