A story on ABC's website showed gas prices in San Rafael, Cal from $2.19 to $2.39 (US per gallon) and it made me think, at what figure would gas prices alter the way you live -- e.g., use public transit; walk; cancel a vacation trip; buy a Segway; or, what have you? (Obviously the ripple effect would impact the entire economy, but let's keep it how it would effect your mobility).
I'm pretty fortunate to put very few miles on my vehicle every week, so I think I could stomach prices in the $3.00/gallon range (unhappily, of course). And Mrs. Gedunker and I have already booked a vacation in Orange Beach, AL which we would not cancel, even at $3.00/gallon (although there'd be a lot less dicretionary money on hand, sorry kids).
Your thoughts?
