$3.50/gallon Gas - How will that change your behavior?
So the news this morning is saying they're predicting a national average of $3.50/gallon gas by summer.
This made me wonder how this effect people. Would it alter their behaviors any.
I'm already working from home 1 day each week, I figured that cut my personal consumption by 20% ( at least where driving to work is concerned). And on the days I go to work, I've shifted my schedule so as to avoid the heavy traffic.
I got rid of my mustang (16-18 mpg) and now drive an Escape (24-26 mpg).
My commute is 30 miles each way, but I don't see moving in my future (this house will be paid off in about 4 years).
I may attempt to work from home another day each week if I can get away with it (and if I'm not laid off in the meantime).
It will make me rethink weekend road trips.
