Is the cost of gasoline affecting your driving habits?

[AndysDaddy]

Here in West Michigan, the cost of regular (87) has skyrocketed to $2.90 per gallon (with appologies to every other place in the world for complaining about it). Despite this, I have not really altered my driving habits at all.

How about you? At what level do you think it would?

No. Much much higher.

It doesn't change my habits, because I work from home. It does affect my wife's choice of car when she drives to work, though. Unless it's snowing, she takes the 29mpg Mazda instead of the turbocharged 24mpg premium fuel WRX. I still floor it in the WRX up the mountain, though.

No.

It would have to be somewhere north of $5 before I even though about changing my driving habits.

The cost of gas has had a 0.0% effect on my driving habits. The only time I think about gas is when the gauge hits 50%.

Gas price should really start to affect your driving habits and your life when your weekly disposable income is in the 2-digit range... I don't think many people here have that problem (although, not having that problem myself, nor knowing anyone who does, I don't really have a big enough sample size to make a determination).

It has hit a buck a liter here in Toronto. About three US dollars a gallon. This has not affected my driving habits but I have gone from the premium unleaded to whatever I can get out of my neighbour's minivan and lawnmower with a hose.

I carpool to work with one coworker. We started this when gas was about $2/gallon, but its also pretty convenient geographically. Its not like either one of us is going way out of our way to buy less gas.

No, not yet, but it is annoying me every time I fill up.

[meep_42]

No, I still have to get to work in the morning.
