It’s easy to see why Time Magazine likes high gas prices. They spell it out pretty clearly in an article about it. The top 10 reasons to like $4 gas, according to Time Magazine:

• Jobs once outsourced overseas come back to the States
• Urban sprawl slows down
• Four day work weeks (give me a break!)
• Less pollution leading to more lives saved
• People are more frugal
• Fewer traffic deaths as motorists drive slower
• Driving less leads to cheaper insurance
• Less traffic and more public transportation usage
• Police officers drive less and walk their beats more, making neighborhoods safer
• People are getting slimmer due to less driving and more walking and biking

I’ve been seeing more and more SUVs parked with For Sale signs on them. That’s good. And when gas hits $5 per gallon the world will be a better place.
