I could careless about a buck a gallon of gas either way....I need to do my business..and that is a cost of business.
The problem with your thinking..is possibly you don't understand supply and demand.

I do a good bit of driving. But I’ve thought about how much a driver saves, this month, say, compared to six months ago, if he covers a hundred mile daily work commute.

It’s not throwaway money but it is not going to buy a new car. It’s a night out for a good dinner, it’s a coat you’ve been wanting to buy, after half a year it will buy you a good rifle or shotgun.
But a lot of other things will change in American life if the world economy does decline and the oil bust continues.
