That will be coming out of consumers' pockets. It's simple, gasoline prices will surge to 2006 levels and remain there for a long time. I'm not saying the companies should not be held responsible. I am saying that lawsuits to collect disaster relief are not the way to go. Regulations are the way to go. Fed govt pushing for lower emission vehicles is the way to go.
