Question

Do high gas prices make you rethink of the kind of car you'll buy?

Answer 1

yes, i was looking at a lexus rx350/400h figured the extra money spent on a hybrid wasnt worth it and i didnt really want to get only 20mpg so im looking more toward a escape hybrid or a toyota prius

Answer 2

yes alot instead of buying a suv i buy a honda civic

Answer 3

YES! My dad asked what car I want next year for my sweet 16, I said I wanted a scooter ;) Cheep on gas and cooler then a car.

Answer 4

Yeah, I kinda want a Honda Civic so I can get 40+ mpg rather than 30-.

Answer 5

Nope but I dont think Ill be geting a ski boat any time soon.

Answer 6

I am thinking more about buying a Diesel-powered vehicle and converting it to run on vegetable oil.

Have a star.

Answer 7

I am afraid that the big car is out. The new generation will be driving much smaller cars and in cylinders. Not much V8engines, but 4cylinders.

Answer 8

Gas prices in San Diego now is about $5.00

It's never gonna go down and it will just keep rising.  So s***w it, I would rather have a car I love and enjoy driving than a car I didn't really want just to save to get a few more miles on the gallon.

Answer 9

It did to me. I changed my mind from Chevy Equinox to Pontiac Vibe.

Answer 10

edit: ^^ You won't get 40mpg on a Civic, unless its a Hybrid =)

Already done! I wanted to buy an SUV, but that idea was gone when gas hit $3.50. Then i wanted to get a 2008 V6 Honda Accord Coupe, i passed on that cause when i was looking for one gas hit $4. So i ended up buying a 08 Honda Civic LX Coupe, i get about 32-35mpg on it usually, mostly highway driving maybe sometimes a little city driving. I think i made a good decision with it, the cheapest of my cars too fill up, and it goes the longest distance out of all my cars.

Answer 11

I definetly rethink my car choice. i was thinking of buying a jetta diesel so I can convert it to biodiesel. You get make biodiesel for about a dollar a gallon with the necessary equipment.
