Freshman Tony Grillo competed for Harvard as well this weekend, carding 81-75. “They?...
...barrel for the first time early this year, Americans (who consume one-quarter of the world's energy) began cutting back. When gas began selling above $4 a gallon, American consumers made "a psychological shift into the sense of crisis and a sense of permanence," says Greg Priddy, oil analyst for the Eurasia Group in Washington. Instead of believing that gas prices would finally fall again, many began changing their daily habits - they started driving the smaller car in a two-car garage or consolidating shopping trips.
