Survey for people who get less than 16 miles per gallon of gas?

If gas prices go up $2 more per gallon, will your next vehicle be something that gets better gas mileage, or will you choose a similar type of vehicle?

Update:

I currently drive a V-6...20 mpg combined. Not great on gas, but I don't drive much so I'm not sure what I would do.

Update 2:

Rajan....OPEC says they won't lower prices anytime soon. They said that the market sets the price and they haven't raised prices...and the reason it's higher is due to the weak dollar. If that is true, then the bank bailouts will weaken the dollar and gas will go higher.

    All 3 candidates for President want a carbon Tax,They also want a Tax on evil oil companies,that trickles down to us.I think gas will be $10 a gallon in 3 years,I drive a car that gets 20 mpg, I drive less but cannot afford a 30mpg car.I feel sorry for working people young& old.

    "In addition to seeking to eradicate poverty, that (U.N.) declaration commits nations to banning 'small arms and light weapons' and ratifying a series of treaties, including the International Criminal Court Treaty, the Kyoto Protocol (global warming treaty), the Convention of Biological Diversity, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women and the Convention of the Rights of the Child," he said.

    Those U.N. protocols would make U.S. law on issues ranging from the 2nd Amendment to energy usage and parental rights all subservient to United Nations whims.Obama bill: $845 billion more for global poverty

    Barak Obam

    Sen. Barack Obama, perhaps giving America a preview of priorities he would pursue if elected president, is rejoicing over the Senate committee passage of a plan that could end up costing taxpayers billions of dollars in an attempt to reduce poverty in other nations.

    The bill, called the Global Poverty Act, is the type of legislation, "We can – and must – make … a priority," said Obama, a co-sponsor.

    i get 14 mpg because my car is f***ed up it got 17 a few months ago, but no my lease expires in may and im getting me a ridgeline and i expect to get about 13-14 mpg, i trust that gas prices will go down after bush is taken out of the white house as long as mccain does not come in i really want Obama to get in, i think he will raise taxes or at least not give these big tax breaks bush is doing, and he will pay off our enormous debt which is why oil is so expensive (oil is traded in US dollars)

    i dont feel safe in cars i was in an accident 2 years ago and still in pain if i was in a car instead of an SUV i might have had to go to the hospital, i will continue to drive a truck or suv i dont really care how high gas prices go i will pay it, yesterday i payed almost $50 for a little over 14 gallons, i saw the price spinning faster then a slot machine, it really pissed me off but i will continue

    edit:

    the reason the dollar is weak is because we are in billions and billions of dollars in debt because of the pointless war in Iraq

    that is why gas prices are up, and they will stay up until bush leaves office with his ridicules tax breaks and tax cuts and we start paying off our debt that is what i said in my answer

    I drive my V-8 powered truck 2 days weekly getting 11MPG.

    I selected it because we own & show a horse in competition frequently...we must tow a large horse trailer.

    At this point it is cheaper to pay more at the gas pump rather than owning a 2nd vehicle that gets better mileage.

    I currently receive 14 MPG in my GMC Envoy and I have learned how to cope with it. I try to drive only when needed, and do trips all at once. I try to drive in low gear and only fill my tank on Thursday's. **Incase you didn't know, here in MD, on Thursday's at Exxon's, Mid-Grade Cost the same as Premium. I will most definitely go down to a smaller car, a compact sports sedan to be specific. I've ben eying some Pre-Owned BMW's lately.

    I would never give up my truck! i drive 23 miles to work in my 97 f-150 Saturdays only during the school day. On average i get abought 14 m/g. To go to school is slightley less than a gallon.

    i have an 85 f250 diesel. here diesel is 4.09 a gal. gas is about 3.40. the next car ill get will be gas.......but it'll be another truck. It just depends on what your priorities are. You learn to cope with it & i'd rather drive my truck 200 miles a week than a malibu 2000 miles a week......so in that sense its worth it
