If gasoline prices hit $3.00 a gallon, do you plan on cutting back on your driving?

[BurnItDwn]

Nope as that would require moving or getting another job.

 

[BoberFett]

No

$3/gallon is only 10-15% higher than current gas prices, I don't think that extra 10% is going to make a huge difference.

if you say that, then when it's $3.30, it'll only be 10% more than $3. Eventually it'll make a difference. Like what someone else said, I'm already trying to cut back. I only drive to work and back. Walk across the street to the grocery store, walk 2 blocks to the gym. Gas is already about $2.80 in some LA gas stations, $3 will be here soon.

Amazing how much the cost of living has gone up in the last 3 years here in OC.

My commute I can't change, 33 miles one way. But for stuff around town I would most certainly use the bike more, and make multiple stops on on trip to conserve.

I've been looking into solar energy too, trying to prepare some for the future.

Interesting. Sounds cool.

I traded in a 1995 Pontiac Firebird Formula for a 2005 Honda Civic 2 DR SE on 07-06-05. Problem solved. I still haven't put any gas in the Honda...

don't you get compensated for gas?

 

[Eli]

Nah, I'll just get a more fuel efficient car.

 

[stan394]

no

 

[Reckoner]

My workplace is about a mile away, and that's usually the only time I'm driving my car. Needless to say a full tank lasts me a long time

 

[KarenMarie]

no.
gas at $3.00 a gallon is still WAY cheaper than what other countries pay.

VeggieFrog and Neosenate pay almost $7.00 a gallon in the UK. That to me is expensive.

 

[Nebor]

Nope. I drive around just for the hell of it probably about ~10 hours a week. And the cars I drive are not light on the gas.

 

[AdamSnow]

No...

I'm already paying $3.89 a Gallon ($1.03/litre Canadian for high octane)

Sucks! You americans got it good... I often consider crossing the border to fill up in Detroit when I'm in Windsor visiing the Fiance.

 

[poopaskoopa]

No. My commute is only .5 mile long. I was told that such a short drive is actually bad for my car though... wtf.
