realistically what might life be like for the different classes of people once gas prices go up to say $12 or how about $15 or $20 for one gallon?

  1. Hopefully gas will never be near $20/gal.  We should drill in ANWR and off our own coasts instead of paying other countries and speculators to poke our eyes.  Realistically, the quality of life for many will deteriorate.  We are seeing this already.  I know other parts of the world pay much more for fuel than we do but I have been to other countries and in many areas you do not need a vehicle.  In Singapore the public transportation is great.  The same for Hong Kong and Thailand.  In Hawaii I took buses, cabs, and walked everywhere.  Here though, I drive 19 miles each way to work.  I don't like it because when I started driving I was pumping gas for under 80 cents.  I am 31.


  2. Horrible get out the bikes lol

  3. do i hear horses  and buggies

  4. I hope not  better get a lock

  5. I recently saw on a debate show of someone talking about how countries are paying 9-11$ per gallon. and the US should reach to about 10$ at some point in time. also saying that with the gas prices going up so much, that it will also help pay off the countries debt. personaly the debt free day will not be reached. but i highly doubt gas getting to 20$ per gallon

  6. In London, gas is the US equivalent of $9 per gallon (they sell it in liters and based on the british pound, but conversions are easy).  The point is, even at $9 per gallon, people still drive.

    People will always drive.  Less may drive, only the rich may drive often, but it won't keep people from driving.  

    Everything will cost more.

  7. everyone will be walking

  8. i dont think it will reach that high however i do think we might be the next generation of THE GREAT DEPRESSION

  9. bikes would sell more because no one can afford to drive. so you should work at a bicycle store to get alll the money lol :D
