A serious guess about next summer is a hard one.

I do not expect energy prices to come down any. Serious down is what 
I mean, down to $3.50 a gallon is still very high in an economic 
society built on roads. The high cost of that energy will be seen everywhere.
How the winter turns out energy wise will have a big impact on the summer.

I don't think food shortages will be wide spread yet.
