For me, the price of the Model S is the mirror image of this chart. Yay, it's getting cheaper!

Mr. musk spoke about this topic as a driving force for EVs to move into the front of the line with the everyday consumer.

I'm still shocked at people who are surprised at current gas prices, and those that think it's temporary. The global, long term patterns seem to me to be blatantly clear - China and India GDPs growing at rates that mean many millions of car consumers are coming on-line yearly, US past peak as well as any country we futz with (welcome, Libya!), the human race finally learning it has to try and charge up front for environmental damage or suffer from tragedy of commons...

now you are being extreme in the other direction, where the Swiss franc has risen almost as sharply as the dollar has fallen. if you look at a currency that has been fairly stable over the period, the crude prices have risen at a pretty fast and steady pace.....

Wonder what's going to happen if there is a real emergency, you know like war breaking out in multiple Middle Eastern states and civil unrest in South East Europe escalating?
Are they going to top the tanks back up at today's prices?

I doubt the accuracy of this article. The EIA: Factors Affecting Gasoline Prices - Energy Explained, Your Guide To Understanding Energy
claims that 10% of gas prices in the US were distribution and marketing and 7% was refining cost.
The BBC claims a 1% refining cost. That just doesn't seem possible, even when the UK taxes double the cost of petrol ( UK ) vs gasoline ( US ).
It is also disingenious to call out the retailer margin but hide the profit of the oil company in "oil cost".
