''A majority of consumers worldwide expect their overall spending power to be significantly impacted by further energy price increases, yet only 13 per cent of those surveyed globally blamed climate policies for rising prices, while 84 per cent of respondents stressed the importance of their own country's shift to sustainable energy sources,'' the WEF said.
Rising energy prices hit consumers; want to shift from fossil fuels: Survey
We will know that gas prices are too high when we see most drivers adopting fuel-saving driving habits.
Until then, gas prices are not too high.
I think they should rule that the gas price has a disparate impact on lower income folks, and deem it unconstitutional.Rising energy prices hit consumers; want to shift from fossil fuels: Survey

When the US government does everything they can to raise the price of gas...just to make alternative energy more attractive...that government is ****ing over their own citizens.Rising energy prices hit consumers; want to shift from fossil fuels: Survey

I get what you're saying but a lot of folks are trimming their budgets elsewhere to compensate as driving a car is a necessity for many.Rising energy prices hit consumers; want to shift from fossil fuels: Survey

And damn near everywhere else.prices are higher in Europe.
Most drivers do that now. Even if gas were $1 per gallon most drivers would still adopt fuel saving driving habits.
It should be regulated like electricity. It has too big an impact on lives and the economy to be leaping around like this.I think they should rule that the gas price has a disparate impact on lower income folks, and deem it unconstitutional.
What part of the Constitution would be violated?I think they should rule that the gas price has a disparate impact on lower income folks, and deem it unconstitutional.
Ahhh....I surely don't miss those days. Not a traffic light in a hundred miles here, and that's not an exaggeration..Everybody is in a big hurry to get to the next red light.
They can't wait to wait!
And to think they could just ease off on the gas pedal, look ahead, time the lights and never even stop.
Saves gas, saves money, saves the environment, saves brakes and it saves your tires.
People got plenty of money to spend on all those things, so apparently gas prices are not too high.
All the tools are available to get more miles out of each gallon of gas, but people are in too much of a hurry to even consider changing their driving habits.
All these fuel-wasting would-be race car drivers don't seem to be phased one little bit by having to pay more at the pump.
Exactly why people jack up their trucks and put on off road tires, to improve fuel economy

The day I filled my tank at $4.2499, I drove home at 50 mph. I've gotten over it now, though. The only people who drive 50 mph around here are the stoners.Everybody is in a big hurry to get to the next red light.

No government = anarchy. Not a realistic solution. It has become stupidly popular to hate on our government, our social institutions that make America America. Government and institutions are totally under-appreciated. People only see the bad, overlook the good.When the US government does everything they can to raise the price of gas...just to make alternative energy more attractive...that government is ****ing over their own citizens.
Get rid of that government. Now.
Given past history people have a certain amountll of money they will accept to pay for gas/fuel. If the cost is below that they do not try to save fuel. Notice that large inefficient vehicles sell very well when gas prices are low. Only when the cost of fuel is above that level, and it depends in the person of course do they make changes to driving habits, to save fuel ( and money) From making fewer trips, driving in a fuel saving manner, or selling fuel inefficient vehicles to buy more efficient oneThe claim involved "driving habits" for "most drivers". Regardless of the price of gas, people will generally try to reduce the amount of fuel they burn.
Not saying don't drive. Driving should be minimized as a part of saving fuel, yes. Rethink frivolous drives. Multi-task trips. When driving is justified, change driving habits. Properly prepare the vehicle. Remove any excess weight, air up the tires, keep it tuned. Avoid quick starts. Time the traffic signals. Turn the engine off for long waits. Many newer cars have this feature built in for just that purpose.I get what you're saying but a lot of folks are trimming their budgets elsewhere to compensate as driving a car is a necessity for many.
Not what I've seen. I changed my habits after Katrina hit and prices soared. I have saved thousands and thousands of dollars since then because of the changes. But I don't see other drivers doing the things I do. Instead, it seems everybody is in a big hurry and their foot goes right from the gas to the brake. And when the light turns green, the race is back on to be the first one to wait at the next light. It literally seems insane to me, but the message I get is they seem to think gas prices are no limiting factor in their hurry.Most drivers do that now. Even if gas were $1 per gallon most drivers would still adopt fuel saving driving habits.

Same here. I learned how to make groceries last and last during the pandemic, and I see no reason to go back to decadent unneeded trips.It should be regulated like electricity. It has too big an impact on lives and the economy to be leaping around like this.
(I've already cut my driving in half --some of us really don't have a choice, but as a retiree I can decide when to go out and how far to drive. Take that, Big Oil LOL)
Sounds nice for a change. I do like to get away sometimes, but I like the big city and all it has to offer for where I choose to live. To each, his or her own. Something for everybody.Ahhh....I surely don't miss those days. Not a traffic light in a hundred miles here, and that's not an exaggeration..
