But in his new book, $20 Per Gallon: How the Inevitable Rise in the Price of Gasoline Will Change Our Lives for the Better, Christopher Steiner argues the dip is temporary, and says gas prices will soon climb beyond $4 per gallon to heights previously unimaginable...
...Steiner, a Forbes writer, chronicles how Americans' tastes, habits and families will change as gas prices rise.

TIME spoke to Steiner about...
...with firm interviews. But student group leaders doubted that the changes will impose a significant burden on their plans next year. “I imagine the training will either have to begin earlier or be incorporated throughout the first weeks of the semester,” Logan A. Steiner, a third-year student member of the Bureau, wrote in an e-mailed statement. An earlier interview schedule also means that students will arrive for their second year of law school without much time to take advantage of the school’s advising services in the fall...
