Ha- saw an article recently that mentioned the "tipping point" where gas prices would cause people to make changes... is now $5.30. What utter nonsense- the writers of this garbage need to point out that if such studies and figures are to have any utility whatsoever, it must be pointed out that the figures have a very, very limited shelf life. Back in the day, going from 30 cents/g to 45 cents would have caused people to change... a few years later going from $1 to $1.50 would cause people to change... and so on. Seems evident that today, motorists are OK with $3.80 gas- Oh, ask them and they'll biatch, but they keep on truckin' just like always.
