The Mood Is Still Light

Today at the convenience mart, customers in line complained to the cashier, tongue-in-cheek, that there was something wrong with the signs outside advertising $4.00/gallon gasoline. "It should be $1.97/gallon," one woman insisted.

Well, at least people still have a sense of humor. If gasoline hits $4.00/gallon, and we aren't even in the summer driving season yet, what will the mood be like, say, around Labor Day?
