what happens gas price raise to $3???
Looking at the gas prices these couple of days, they are pretty high, the 87 one is at least 2.2x (here in chicago).. could it go to $3 some day??? what will you do if it does hit $3? will you stop driving the car or not? i don't think i will stop, because i only drive in the weekend... it makes me excited when i sit in my civic...
i don't think i can live w/o driving my car...
i guess we will see more civics or hybrid cars on the road soon

But i think a lot of America is built such that not driving your car will make life a lot more difficult. Public transportation usually isn't that great unless you're in the cities. I'd say people will drive less or make sure that they do all the errands at once, but I don't see it really affecting the demand enough to cut costs THAT much

you know what will happen? youll pay whatever they charge. no one that drives their car every day will decide to change their whole routine, even if they could, because of 70+ cents for a gallon of gas. work isnt gonna move closer, and people gotta go to work.

Your lucky, i'm paying $2.35 for 87 in california. I'm surprised the price isn't already near that price, i thought the gas companies would use that explosion in that oil refinery in texas as an excuse to jack up the price like they usually do.
If the price hits $3 a gallon then gas will become a hot political issue. I believe Bush will talk to his oil buddies to try to lower the price or he'll release the national oil reserves into the market to relieve the high price. Either way, it makes me feel good i have a civic when i fill up.

Rep Power: 400 Actually what could happen is what happened in the early 80's.
Back then, if you adjust for inflation, they were paying the equivalent of $3.00 per gallon.
Truck drivers, who depend on gas more than anyone, started doing rolling road blocks on freeways in protest. They would form rolling road blocks, and stop traffic. Eventually it worked, and gas prices and oil prices were lowered.

Rep Power: 812 all i know is my next car isn't gonna depend on gas. I want something self contained where I don't have to pay to drive it. Hopefully something like that will exist in my future life 
Screw that hybrid crap. I want ALL electric, or at least some kind of battery powered something.

um...maybe bush should stop the fuggin war, bring our people home, and leave the middle east alone and start extracting our own oil...there are lots of deposits around the US, screw importing them. retarded politicians...i can't believe they still haven't taken action for this...they know we won't do anything, and even if the gas prices does exceed $3 and we do boycott or something, that eventually, we'll give in and buy gas again, so its fuggin pointless, those politicians are heartless man, it troubles me that ppl like that exist and run the country I live in.

=$40+ full tank for 2 weeks short distance driving less than 20miles a day... full tank runs me about 280+miles 
but I love driving my car... and I don't care if the gas is 10per gallon I will still be driving my car... it just means that I have to work extra hours

if gas was $3 for 87, i would drive less and not so spirited as i always do. our civics are gas consuming cars and thats the best part i like about my car. i ill still continue to drive because i rely on a car to go almost everywhere.
