This is bad, but it's still less than what I paid in France 5 (!!) years ago. In 2000, regular gas was 7FF/liter which translates to $3.80/gallon. I'm sure the prices elsewhere in the world right now are way worse than our $3.519 (this was supreme, not regular).
Yep, a few years ago I was terrified to see my israeli friend Mike pay ~4NS/liter (same $3.80/gallon)
As for the cold fusion, I am a great believer in the magic powers of free market ;) As soon as oil prices will reach critical levels, suddenly major corporation will jump over each other in a bid to finance cold fusion (or some other thingamajig) R&D
