[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 408376, member: 12570"] Poozer, gas prices have been high in Europe for some time so your economy has become accustomed to and has adjusted accordingly. Public transportation is a much higher priority there and cars are generally smaller and more efficient. Here in the States, people love their cars and it has been a hard sell trying to get people to park their cars and ride the bus or, like steve, ride their bikes to work. Many of us thought that $4/gallon would be a threshold which would lead to less driving and it did but not to the extent that was thought. Now, with gas coming back down, I bet you will see miles driven going back up. I was stationed in Sicily in 1983 and gas was $4-5/gallon back then. Everyone drove those little 2 seaters (very similar to the Smart car) or rode their scooters. [/QUOTE]
