$5 gas?

Lots of bloviating (and wisecracking) about “What Would Happen If You Woke Up To $5/Gallon Gasoline?” over at The Truth About Cars.  The answer is much simpler than anyone has mentioned.   Not a g*ddamned thing.  It was $4.989 a gallon when you went to bed, a$$hole, and nothing besides another record wave of home foreclosures was happening then.
