My weekly fuel consumption is less than 8 gallons average. I could get it below 7 but I don't want to pile the miles on my Insight when gas is cheap. For now I'll trade 53 MPG in a $3300 car for 65 MPG in a $9000 car.
If it went from the current $2.15 a gallon to $5, my weekly cost would not really affect my driving. The wife and I used my cars instead of here Nissan Rogue and our family average is still close to 50 MPG.
Although I know it would be very hard for some, as well as the general economy, I think we should be paying more for gas to make the incentive for all to be more conservative in their fuel consumption.
When it hit $4 a gallon here last year there was a real transformation in the types of cars you saw on the highway and the way people drove. Now it's back to the same old aggressive insanity.
