Question

What will you do when gas hits 6-7 dollars a gallon?

Answer 1

What do mean?  Are you trying to drive the price up even higher?  Someone will come up with an idea for vehicles to operate with less cost.  You know gasoline is not the only answer for fuel use.

Answer 2

Nothing,I already prepared last year by buying a IDI Mercedes diesel,and converting it to run WVO or WMO.

People should climb off their high horse and ditch the new vehicles and retrofit like I did. I have to drive to run my business.I'm too disabled to hold a 8 hour a day job.But I work and pay taxes,no begging from the Government.

Answer 3

nothing different i dont use enough gas for it to affect me really

actually i have started geting better deals on large displacement  cars and i only see the selection getting better so i will probally have to build a bigger garage to put my toys

Answer 4

A new revolution will occur well before that happens.

Answer 5

i'll be walking my happy *** everywhere, rofl

Answer 6

Nothing, suck it up and pay for it. Not that I'll be happy about it.

Answer 7

Same as I do now.  Commuting on my motorcycle.  Riding bicycle for many errands.  Limiting my trips.  Driving slower.  Saving my money as much as possible.  I believe things will get worse.  

I rode to work this morning on my motorcycle in the rain with temps at 50 degrees F.  Beats driving the 18 mpg van.

Answer 8

Shamelessly beg my husband to stay in the military. There is NO way that we can afford getting out if that happens... we really can't afford getting out now with $4 gas!

I'll also have to get a full time job and cancel my plans for going back to college, the military pays for it, but I'm going to have to work to make ends meet rather than waste my time at school if that happens!

Answer 9

I will be doing what I am doing now, take the train and have no life.

Answer 10

i would commute using the train and bus which i always do it's it's not that expensive i'm actually saving alot of money, but then the fares for the buses and trains will go up and then if it's too expensive then i will jus bike or walk anyways everything here is within walking distance and dowtown boston is just 15-20 min away by train

Answer 11

Host a party for all the people willing to change their way of life in order to avoid spending any more than necessary on gasoline.

Those that refuse to adapt will be broke - wages will have to go up to keep pace with products... those of us without a major gas bill each month will have even more extra hidden income!

Sorry to be so cutthroat but I feel that 16 miles a day on a bicycle breathing auto exhaust and nearly run over every day gives me the right to be tickled over auto-dependent folks current plight.

Answer 12

When it gets that expensive, it will still only cost me 12-14 bucks a week in fuel to get around.

PIAGGIO for the win.

Answer 13

You create a smaller world.  Simply you find businesses, restaurants and hopefully work closer to home or pay the going rate.  I used to live in a small community outside of Detroit, MI where my annual mileage was about half of what it is in Houston, TX where everything is spread all over h**l.

Answer 14

I already commute by bus and my husband is a tele-commuter, so we don't spend too much on gas.  I suppose the bus will increase fares at some point, though, so I'll probably ride a bike to work.

For non-work trips, I guess not use the AC as much, try to batch my trips by how many places I can get to in the same trip.  I suppose if it got really bad I'd catch the bus to do errands instead of take the car.

Answer 15

same thing, drive back and forth to work, i have to make a living.  We have to pay, there is really no alternative.

Answer 16

The sensible answer is the same thing you have been doing - perhaps in a new vehicle. Hybrid sales will skyrocket, as will motorcycle sales. Public transportation and mass transit, ignored for a decade, will boom in volume (one of our local bus lines, from the rail station, saw riders increase by 500% in the last few weeks). People will still work, they will still take vacations. We just will look more like Europe - which has had higher prices for decades.

Answer 17

I ride my bike, I roller skate, I don't drive no car, I don't go too fast but I go pretty far....

Answer 18

down here in Italy we are at 8.5 dollars/gal.  Salaries are half then the US.  So we feel it 16 d/gal !!!!!!!

I ride my bike to work, but best thing is TELECOMMUTING.....

BTW,  I found out that most of the CO2 I emit is actually from house heating, not from commuting.  But the state didn't tax that.
