What is your gas price ceiling? What is your gas price limit?

This has been measured before. When gas prices rose in the 1970s, drivers reduced non-essential trips. Carpooling and public transportation increased. Long-term, people also replaced their cars with smaller and more efficient models, which drove changes in the automobile industry but I think OP's question was about the short term.

Nobody is coming out ahead buying a new car, no matter the cost of gas. Cars and taxes are $$$$$

It's not the gas price that I'm concerned with. We have one electric car and one gas car that's driven much less. It's the price of diesel which moves everything in the US. Groceries, goods, airplane fuel. All that will go up and can't be avoided. I will do fewer grocery store trips and buy more at once. All the door dash people are about to get hit pretty hard with this too.

The better question is this:

At what point will the masses begin protesting the administration given the cost of gas?

Same. I guess if gas started costing more than a new EV, I might consider my options. Until then, I’m not going to change my driving.

I don’t think I can walk 5 miles on I-270 to work so it’s a moot question.

That was in the good old days before the current obscene car prices.

I'm willing to pay however much it takes to drive and continue on with daily life.

I live in urban Arlington, WFH and have a 2019 car with less than 40k miles. I’ll pay whatever price is available but I’ll only do it every 3 weeks or so, thank goodness.

It doesn't matter because no matter what, I have to drive. However, even the people who do not drive will of course suffer because their food still needs to get to the grocery store. In this country everything depends on gas.

Do you buy anything at the store? How do you think that gets there? Do you have gas at home for heat or cooking?

stupid question you think people are going to sit home and not go anywhere because of gas prices or suddenly start using the bus?
