Gas Prices

[hkellick]

So.. a question (and another public entry!)

They're predicting gas prices to go up to $5 again for a while.

How much do you have to pay to fill up your vehicle before the price of gas outweighs the convenience of having your own vehicle? How much until you switch to biking/walking/mass transport?

If gas does go up to $5 or more per gallon, what do you intend to do?

I'd carpool.

I've been thinking, quite a bit, about my next car. I love my big ol' sedan, but this city boy's gonna buy a mini.

Public transport makes my life easy. But if that's going to happen...I'm filling up tonight because gas is less than $3 by me right now.

I am as well. I KNOW I'll be burning gas next weekend (moving) so not going broke doing so would be good.

I've been thinking alot about cars as well. I'm a big guy, so need a sedan, just so I have enough room to drive comfortably in, but I think I'll end up getting a hybrid. And I think, while I like the pickup of 6 cylinders, I'll stick with 4.

Mmm, totally.

The mini has really good legroom, my friend bruce at 6'5" fit comfortable in one. Just an FYI!

Are you on IM ever? my ims are on LJ info, drop me a line sometime.

My 6'4" 280 lb ex-bf was comfortable driving my Civic hatchback. Much more comfortable than in his Saturn sedan or my Subaru station wagon.

I don't fit comfortably in Kristen's Saturn SL-2. Not for long periods of time.
It probably depeneds on the car.

It must. Oliver was able to ride in our Mazda 323 and drive it comfortably. He looked funny doing so, but it was possible. :)
