Here's something that doesn't mesh with recent vehicle-buying trends:

drivers expect prices to increase by more than $1 in the next five years to $3.50 per gallon, according to a recent survey by the Consumer Federation of America. Those projections are in line with projections by the federal Energy Information Administration.
