Question

What do you think is a reasonable price for a gallon of gas, considering todays cost of living?

Answer 1

$8 / gallon

Answer 2

it about right...in 1970 i made 7000 per year,,a good house was 25K...a new car 3000 dollars...now a house 250,000,,a car 20,000 and my pay   45K.

Answer 3

Honestly, I think that $2.00 a gallon is reasonable for todays cost of living. Here in north Alabama its $3.64 a gallon...for the cheap stuff & showing no signs of getting better. America is in trouble, ya'll.

Answer 4

About $1.50 per gallon

What we need to do is setup a food cartel like OPEC.  A barrel of oil for a bushel of grain.

If they don't like it, they can eat their oil and we'll use the grain for fuel.

Answer 5

When I consider the "cost of living" I'm thinking perhaps much broader than simply my expenses.

For a little more context check out this NYT "Freakonomics" blog on the true cost of driving on society/the planet:

"Not so free ride"  http://www.nytimes.com/2008/04/20/magazi...

So I would say roughly... oh $3,000 per gallon would do nicely!

Answer 6

$2.00 a gallon is a reasonable price.  $2.50 tops.  Gas is getting way too pricey.  It's up to $3.43 where I live.  From half a tank to full is costing me $64; it's ridiculous.  If gas keeps going up, it won't be long til a man will have to choose between going to the grocery store or the gas station every week.
