"Stop grousing about the numbers on the pump. All of this could be good for you and good for America."
By doubleace
As you pump 13 gallons into your Honda CR-V -- American's best-selling SUV and a thrifty 28 on the highway and 21 in town -- it's near impossible to view the $50 you're spending with a positive attitude.
With the national average at $3.84, it's easy to label oil executives as pond scum, but try to remain open-minded. Think of the big picture: While that promised road trip to Disney World just went up in carbon monoxide, $5 gasoline may actually have an upside if it arrives this summer as some experts predict. Not for you and your family personally, maybe, but perhaps for the United States as a whole.
Some possible benefits (and we're serious about most of them):
Fewer people will die on the road.
Demand for high-mileage cars may grow.
Shorter security lines.
Less pollution.
Less congestion.
