Short on gas

Last night I saw a program on CNN about the nation running out of gas. Normally I would consider this a over exaggerated warning, but this time it hit home. This is mainly due to friends saying they may not do something because of the cost of gas. That hit me hard, since many of these people have traveled long distances for these activities before. That hit me hard, and is making me worry more.

How much of our economy is based on tourism? How many small towns are dependent on it? And how long before it starts effecting those with long commutes that drive to work for more then an hour and can't afford to do that anymore?

I think we may be looking at a bigger collapse of the economy if gas prices keep rising and people do not conserve.
