If gas cost $5 a gallon, you'd pay it.

Indeed, I would. I would also drive a lot less, and my next car would be way more efficient than the current one.

How much less can you drive and still get any use out of your car? At what point do you simply concede that it's not cost-effective to even own a vehicle?

and my next car would be way more efficient than the current one.

How efficient can it be? You can only buy the cars the auto industry is selling. And those cars are only so efficient. I just traded an SUV for a small, sportier vehicle that gets twice the mileage. But since the cost of gas has doubled, I now experience zero savings for doubling the efficiency of my vehicle. How do I go about doubling it again when the crooks at the oil companies fire up the gouge machine again?
