How high does gas have to hit before you drive to work and work only??

currently. here in utah the average for the cheap stuff (85 octane) is 3.20/gal i have two cars i have to fill up so the wife and i take it easy. filling up both cars is aroune 100-115.00 thats A LOT 'specially on 10/hr and havng two car payments a mortgage payment insurance and food and one on the way... so ya, i drive to and from work only. i think its time to get a Prius! hey Zach, im sorry to tell you, we have 85 octane in utah. believe me i know, i have lived here for a long time. maverick gas stations and flying j gas stations have 85 octane

Of Course paying for gas takes money away from other priorities. But Sticker shock on gas, may change driving habits for a short time, in the long run, it will be accepted and driving habits will stay the same

Canada Gas $5.00 CDN per US gallon

When it is $4 for the cheap gas I think we'd cut back on our weekend trips to our camper. I usually run errands on my way to and from work to avoid extra trips. We have already cut back on driving during the week as much as we can just so we can afford our weekend get aways.

In my case, since I drive 100 mi/day, $4/gal is the point where I would seriously quit driving to places other than to and from work. Even though with gas at $3.39, like it is right now is making me slow down, and drive less.

Sidenote: Ryan, no filling stations in the US sell 85 octane fuel. 86 is the lowest they can legally sell, and most don't even bother with the labour in providing it since most people go with regular unleaded (87 octane)

$10 a gallon. i have a bmw with a 6 cly. engine and i get roughly 25 mpg so im pretty happy about that. i dont worry about gas too much and i drive around as much as i need to. but i think at 10 a gallon is when id start to cry

With US` low gas prices it can increase quite a lot before

it makes much of a difference to peoples driving habits.

counter question:

What needs to happen before we start living more practically? Closer to where we work and spend most of our time so we don't have to rely on cars for every little trip we need to make.

haha i will ride my bike to work some days already so i dont have to drive!
