Luck has nothing to do with it.
I realized years ago that oil is a finite reasource and that the price of gasoline is, year over year, going to continue to rise.
Hybrids are not the only solution, any high effiency car will improve your situation. 34 mpg is far better than the average 20mpg.
And yes, I agree that if hybrid or preferable all electric cars were available to everyone the world would be a better place

Do you realize how little of the US oil imports are from OPEC nations??
The price is determined by the free market. The price is spiking due to the fact that we no longer can produce enough to handle any major supply disruptions. So any fear of a geologic, weather or political disruption sends prices soaring.
