Get used to it. The price of gas is never going to go back down. I know....I may sound really pessimistic, but I'm not. Like I said before, the price of gas in other places in the world is more than 2.50-$3.00/gallon. It's 3.00-$4.00/liter, and anyone that knows the metric system knows that a liter is less than a gallon.
Even if we start to use all of our own reserves, the truth is that the oil WILL eventually run out, if we keep using it as much as we do. All these people with these huge SUVs will have to live with spending $100(or more) to fill their tanks. For me, my next car will be a hybrid. It makes sense to transition now. From my point of view, you can almost view the way we use gas as a sin, gluttony. We're using it so much, within a few generations, there won't be any for our grandkids. At the very least, that's selfish and short-sighted.
