California's current average price for regular is $3.52 per gallon. LA is still a parking lot at rush hour. Here in Oregon $3 +/- is pretty normal.

I think gas would need to get into the $4 - $5 a gallon range for most people to take notice and move fuel economy near the top of the list when vehicle shopping.

Prices around $3.50 certainly didn't slow down the shift from cars to CUVs from 2011 - 2015.
