I guess that it is easy to get spoiled with the low gas prices we have been having. Summer time is around the block and it surely will lead to higher gas prices. Is this going to change anybodies driving habits considering the RDX also takes premium fuel?

Gas prices here weren't too bad last summer. What makes you think gas prices will go up this summer? Maybe if we have a bad hurricane season....

But to answer your question, I don't think my driving habits would change any if gas went up. Its been hovering between $2.10 and $2.40 here for premium for a while now. Maybe if it went up to $4/gallon I might reconsider some long drives and fly instead, but gas prices will affect airline prices too.

Not really. I don't drive much so I normally tank up maybe on average two or three times every two weeks. Prices have to go up by a lot for me to look at a 'Plan B'.

Nah, because the RDX still gets better mileage than the GTO I traded in! :-D

The best way to make people happy about paying $3.00 a gallon for gas is to give them a taste of what $4.00 a gallon feels like. That said, the $2.40 a gallon I'm currently spending is literally highway robbery.

I'm already payin' $3 a gallon here in SF... :-(

Disgusting, isn't it? Amazing how fast we have all come to think of $2.25 as "cheap" gas....

Compared to other parts of the world, $2.25 is still cheap.

I remember when I used to put BP 93 octane in my Stealth at $1.18 a gal. That was from '94 to about '99. That means the cheap stuff was about a buck. What was Exxon's profit last quarter, 12 billion or so? Those guys are doing okay if you ask me! I guess the only way to beat the system is to buy their stock. Or wait a couple years until biofuels become viable and cheap.

I don't drive a lot, so I am lucky. I work from home and only go out for client meetings about once a week, if that. (Most of my stuff is done over phone and email.) And you have to figure if you can afford a car like this, you can afford the gas for it...even at $4/gal. And yeah, I think we'll see it hit $3 + again this summer. Although there was an extremely LARGE oil reserve (one of the largest ever discovered IIRC) found recently off a shelf in the Gulf of Mexico. But that won't stop price increases. He who owns the gold makes the rules.

To answer the ORIGINAL question.......NO!

Unless gas gets to like, $6/ gal. I would worry about gas prices. I don't drive that much, so it won't matter that much!
