Has the increased price of gas made you think of getting rid of, or changing, your car?

No. I'm not in a position to be without a car and I there's no need to change it as it already has excellent mileage.

However, I have been tempted to get a bike so I could cycle into work a few days a week to cut down on diesel. At the moment, I drive 25 miles a day to and from work and spend approx £95 on fuel.

Gas has gone DOWN 80 cents a gallon here from before. Still high but oh well. I can't change either of my vehicles since I owe more on them than they are worth.

I have great mileage on my car. I think the gas prices are ridiculous...another way of control.

Ummmm no because I never had a car in the first place. I would hope, however, that it might encourage other people to get rid of or change their car to a smaller, less gas-guzzling one though.

It's made me drive less, but I haven't considered changing or getting rid of my car. Not having a car isn't really feasible here, and I have a Toyota Corolla, which gets decent mileage.

No

I don't have a car, because I'm a winner.

No.

No more so than I already was, which isn't that much, really. I have a pretty fuel-efficient car. I would prefer to have a hybrid, but that's been true since before the price of gas skyrocketed. I don't mind waiting until something even more efficient comes out, though. My car is fairly new and it's not worth getting rid of it yet.

No, we are keeping the vehicles that we currently own. They don't get great mileage, but they're all paid for.

I bought a Prius a little while after Katrina and I live in a rural area where you really need a ar to get around, so no.

Do you drive?

my car gets ridiculously good mileage and I don't drive much anyway

My car sips gas. I like it though that my friend has a 2007 Jeep something or other..She gets gas often. I get gas..maybe once every three weeks.

I was thinking about it before the recent price spike. But the car I want is not yet offered for sale in the US.

Reason for question. Live in the country, work in the city lifestyle. And it's a 15 minute drive from my house to the nearest bus stop. I was hoping to see somebody write that they were thinking of getting one of those Japanese cars - Japanoids. They're little and run on whiffs. They've just started importing them into Canada. Strangely, they have to be > 6 years old to be accepted as an import. Here, there's lots of bigger, heavier vehicles for used/private sale, more all the time, which made me wonder in a survey how you guys (mostly non-Canadians) are reacting. Canadians can't drive motorcycles or bike through the winter, and small cars are pretty much useless on a really snowy day (even with the sandbags in the trunk). Now, we're starting to get rid of the trucks and SUVs . . . I just wondered.

What's your car?

Already have.

Yes, absolutely. But only the rich can afford to save money. It will trickle down eventually to the middle class.

No......... and for some reason my Toyota "eats" gas its an 11yr old (had from new) Tacoma Pick-up

YOU DON'T DRIVE!!

Due to failing eyesight?

bwahaha

I don't have a car, and I never want one. This is only one of the reasons for thinking that way.

Hahaha, NO I DON'T!

1992 Honda Civic VX

No. In fact, we just went from a 4 Cyl. to a V6.

I rarely drive, and my SO doesn't have very far to go to work... so while the gas prices do affect us, I'm sure it affects us much less than it does most.

No. Our car is pretty fuel efficient, and we live too far from a bus stop to not have a car.

No but the major car accident I was in made me get an other one

Would I ever like to drive something made in the millenium in which I am driving it! Gas costs a fortune here in Northern Ontario where I live. It equals about $6 per gallon! Even milk is cheaper.

No way George Bush he will pay me to fill up my gas in the car oh!! gotta love Bush

Yeah? He's spent four trillion on a war which still needs paid for. That's roughly $24,000.00 per American of tax-paying age (18-62).

and 'the serge' is not working. More people die on both sides each year. The only reason Baghdad is peaceful is that we've made a ghost-town of it. Most of those people are living in places like syria, lebanon, and such, and the moment we leave Iraq we face an entire nation bent on vengeance. Either way we'll be slowly drained of lives and money for years to come thanks to Bush. It would have been much easier on us if Bush had simply poisoned our own water supply instead.

and the bailout... It was bad enough that high-stakes gamblers were allowed to profit from the masses, super-lame that people gav their retirement funds to these gamblers who were bound to collapse since their whole operation is based on perpetual conquest, but theres no one left to conquest now; and it's outrageously bizarre that now we insuring these pirates against bankruptcy with tax dollars. Now they can't fail if they win or lose. We might a well just start signing our paychecks over directly to these corrupt CEOs. The economy was bound to fail. I've been saying that here on SC for nearly a decade. Now they've made it so the government in guaranteed to collapse along with it.

Unfortunately the snot is just beginning to hit the fan, and people will blame Obama who has to clean up eight years of suicidal greedy economics, because it won't be felt till he's in office.

In an ideal world, I'd love to get a little fuel efficient car - but I need my car to move staging and stock, so it has to be a big one.
