I've followed the peak oil phenomenon since 1997, when Scientific American did a cover story about it. I don't expect gas rationing as soon as the Fox News guy. I do expect "rationing by price" as the cost of gasoline rises even higher than it is now. I also expect that, if "that person" is reelected, there will be an effort to give the FSA some sort of break on gasoline, such as a "gasoline stamps" program akin to food stamps.
