$6 gas????

Question

America's top car dealers are saying that gas prices need to rise-possibly to $6 a gallon for Americans to really realize the issue concerning global warming. If gas price rose to $6 or even $5 a gallon, would you still buy gas or cut down on a lot of your driving trips?

Answer 1

I would have no choice but to cut down on driving. Actually, I have already done this. If it got to $6 a gallon, I would only leave the house in my SUV if it were an emergency!

Answer 2

If gas were to rise to that, I don't think I would take ANY long vacations and I'd definitely cut down on my driving significantly.

Answer 3

If gas goes up to $5 I will no longer be able to afford it. I think this will be the same for most people.

Answer 4

well id buy a more gas friendly vehicle to drive around town

Answer 5

Couldn't do it.  I'm currently looking at a Vespa.  I live 11 miles from the city, so taking a bus is out of the question for commuting.  Right now I'm putting 87 bucks of gas in the tank each week.  That is starting to add up.  Ick.  I still fail to believe there isn't anyone that can do anything about this.

Answer 6

I would probably sell my car. I have already started making my kids walk to school, which I was always a little leary of before.

Answer 7

I would cut down on my driving trips. There is no way to cut down on fueling up unfortunately. It is a 16 mile drive each way to my job. It is killing me. When I moved from NY to NC, I took a $4 an hour pay cut. That is a lot for someone in retail. I am making what I did 10 friggin years ago.

I already don't go out on the day's I am off. If I need something at the grocery store, I get in on my way home or do the weeks shopping once a week, again on my way home.

I try to buy in bulk but that is next to impossible since at this time I still live in an apartment and don't have the room to do so on a grander scale. But I will, once I get a house.

Buying gas or not buying gas is not an option at this time. I don't think it is for anyone. We rely on it so heavily. But we will find ways to conserve. People owning diesels already are by converting to bio-diesel. I just wish there was a solution as easy as that for the regular gas vehicles.

Answer 8

Cut down fa s****.>
$5-6 a gallon is insane...everyone would start selling their hummers lol

Answer 9

I would get a bike.

Answer 10

I seriously consider starting a riot and if that didnt work id consider and probably would steal gas out of others tanks. After saving up id build some type of go kart car like a areial atom EDIT!~~!~!~ theres a better point here  if that ever happened the airline industry would be destroyed and i mean permently

Answer 11

Answer 12
