Default Question for S2K owners

With the gas prices hitting $4.00 a gallon and beyond, how much would you be willing to pay per gallon?

"If a person makes $100K a year, takes home approximately $60K net pay, works 260 days a year, commutes 50 miles a day, averages 20 mpg, at $92 per gallon, he would actually loose money by going to work. At $50 per gallon, he would be spending $32.5K a year just on gas to commute to work. If he buys a Prius and gets 45 mpg, he would be saving $18K a year." -NAGTROC

I think that if gas prices reach the prices in your example, the world will have bigger issues than fuel in your car. It would be hard to afford milk and bread if fuel prices reach $10 and $20 a gallon.

If fuel prices increase that much, so will everything else. What do you think the truck that delivers milk & bread to your local grocery store runs on?

I certainly won't be driving the S2000 if gas goes above $5/gallon. My motorcycle gets 60 mpg.

Mike is right, food prices are going to be a bigger issue...it will force many restaurants out of business and people who don't know how to cook and stock pile food are going to be in a world of trouble. I for one will not be joining the mobs standing in long lines to buy 1 loaf of bread for $50.00
