As the price of gas goes up, people will become more conscience of how much they use.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The only way people are going to change their car buying habits, and the only way government will get behind alternatively fueled vehicles, is if gasoline prices continue to go up.
We have gasoline at $2 a gallon. If that doesn't drive demand, I don't know what will.
When it costs $50 to fill up our gas tanks, it impacts every aspect of our daily lives and the community.
One of the things we worry about when we cut the tax on gasoline is that it basically stimulates additional use.
Certainly, we are hurt by the high fuel prices because it raises our cost.
Gas consumption is growing everywhere.
If the Administration does nothing, high gasoline prices will continue to increasingly burden our economy, taking millions of dollars out of the hands of families and putting it straight into the pockets of OPEC.
Motorists who want to save money on gas will demand and buy more fuel-efficient vehicles. We should not limit their freedom with more government regulations.
For somebody for whom they're going to buy a certain amount of gas irrespective of the price, should they really spend so much time thinking about the price of gas? It doesn't affect anything they do.
Even if gas prices fall, consumers will continue to be gouged at the pump the only thing that we can be sure rises faster that the price of gasoline is the skyrocketing profits of oil companies.
