I highly doubt that gas goes up that much, but if it does I am well prepared for it. I think there is at least one last hurrah for the oil industry.

I doubt it dampers BMW SUV sales much. Anyone that can afford a new X3 or X5 is not going to be concerned about gas prices when they are still getting 20+ mpg. It will hurt the market for less expensive vehicles underneath 20mpg.
