Couldn't find the original thread this was posted in on this forum, and it was a fairly in depth article, but here's the main point as copy/pasted from the TTAC (The Truth About Cars) site.

"Enjoy the cheap gas for now, eventually it will go back up and when it does, it will go up fast and hard under the wails of peak oil, drill baby drill, and those pesky Chinese are using up the supply. Oh, it will likely put the globe back into another recession."

Unfortunately the writer is very likely correct which is not good for the economy as a whole but could prove to be very good for Elio Motors.

If/when oil prices go shooting up EM very well could be in a similar position as the Japanese auto makers were in 1970's with an inexpensive and ultra fuel efficient vehicle ready to meet the demands of consumers desperate for such an option.
