  Inside: This Week in Autos
On April 1 columnist Ed Wallace wrote a piece entitled "There is No Gas Shortage," in which using government data he showed that there was no shortage of oil or gas in the U.S., quite the contrary in fact, and that the primary reason prices were so high was because of speculation?at the expense of the rest of the economy. It turned out to be one of the most popular columns we've ever run, generating more than 400,000 page views and over 825 reader comments. But Ed had more to say on the subject and this week provided us a follow-up where he says that in spite of inventory levels or demand, in our new reality oil prices will always go up. Elsewhere this week we also applauded Ford's surprising $100 million first quarter profit, which was based largely on strong overseas sales and the success of several new models at home. We also looked at how SUV makers are concentrating their sales efforts in proven U.S. markets, such as Texas, and pulling out of regions where they have always struggled. Last, we reviewed the new BMW 1-series convertible and found that, it's true, good things to do come in small packages. Enjoy.

"Tax credits for home builders socializes losses and privatizes profits. This digs a deeper hole for the housing industry and the economy. Free market capitalism is a myth."

openquote

The scientists I have interviewed over the past few years tell me that not only is [plug-in] technology within reach, but that it makes too much sense not to pursue with gusto. Do costs have to be brought down? Yes. But never has an application of technology come along that so perfectly matched the peculiarities of the U.S. driver. closequote
