$5 gas will you keep or sell?

steviestyles ^^^ Unless the economy is prosperous and they are taxing the crap out of gas to try and keep people from driving for the "environment".

 

I would scream fuck the government (as I fill my tank in my truck)

 

it seems like they say every year "this year gas will reach $x.00 a gallon"

still waiting

 

evaH

have to agree

 

I wouldn't buy a vehicle at all if gas goes up that high.

 

Keep it and buy a commuter car

 

gas is supposed to go up? havent heard anything about it ... i just got done paying $62 for 17 gallons ($3.69 per) from Chevron. i might have to switch to am/pm if it really happens, no way im gettin rid of my truck tho

 

I don't pay attention to all those scares of $X gas prices. My truck is paid off so I don't care. I may have a job which requires me to have a fairly long commute so I may buy a used 4 cyl car. Although that's not really for gas prices cause it would take awhile to make up the savings. I just don't want to be putting 30k miles a year on the Taco since I'd like to get at least 150k out of it and don't want that to blow by.

 

I'd buy a prius....just kidding, as others have said, doubt that would happen under gov't, if it did, sell the SC, get some smaller tires, drive less

 

Truck is paid for, so a payment can go towards fuel

 

keep, but ride my little Ninja 250R a lot more... 70 mpg ftw!

btw, how the f%&* would gas going up be the Government's fault... I say its OPEC and the Oil/gas industry Oligarchy that would cause the huge spike in prices. Exxon, BP, Mobile, Chevron... etc have been fleecing the world for a long time, additionally, OPEC Nations pay for everything from Oil revenues... when Oil $$$ goes up they shell out more... when Oil $$$ goes down they don't... they are completely dependent on the price of Oil. It behooves them to strangle the supply in order to raise the price (but have to be wary of demand). OPEC firmly believes in at least $100 per Barrel oil.

But, remember back in 08? when the price of gas peaked to like ~$4.25... the economy tanked, consumption DROPPED! the all of a sudden gas was like ~$1.60 hmm... makes you think. It was a combination of things but if Gas gets back up to that price it will hurt everyone... consumers and sellers.

I think overall, that the Price right now (while high) is satisfactory to everyone... high enough for Oil/Gas sellers to make record profits, producers to satiate their population, and just low enough not the anger the consumers (Americans).

Short of a drastic REAL cut in supply I don't forsee Gas prices jumping up to $5.00 (unless caused by taxes) because it will hurt both the consumer and the seller... it is a delicate balance. Producers and Suppliers will keep ticking the price up incrementally trying to gauge how sensitive the Market is... they can't afford a huge drop in consumption

 

My Girl has Prius so we would just drive that more often. I'm not really worried about it my trucks sits 5 days a week BART FTW!

 

I will probably keep mine since it is a 4cyl, but it will affect the types of mods I plan on doing.

 

Some islands in HI have been to $5 already. Nothin new

 

Keep it...if I was concerned about gas I would have gotten a Prius...Man up...we own trucks!!

 

Its a good thing the wife and I can carpool to work, and we have a 4 cylinder for our car. It wouldnt be all that bad.

 

Definitely keep. Even at 14mpg I think $5 gallon gas is worth it. It sure beats walking or riding my bicycle 14 miles, which I wouldn't do for $5.

Gas will go up, people will whine and quite driving so much. Gas will go down, people will shut up and start aimlessly driving.

 

Don't plan on getting rid of mine. Too many things that I can't do with a car.

 

If I get rid of my truck, it'll be because of the excessive repair costs, not because of the gas prices.

 

its a keeper
