I guess it is all relative. When I started driving in the 1960's gas was $0.25 cents a gallon. I had a VW with a 10 gallon tank and remember thinking if gas keeps getting more expensive it will probable cost me $3 to fill up. Of course, I was making $1 an hour stocking shelves at Kroger at the time.
So gas needs to get a lot cheaper if they want to dampen my desire for more MPG's
