I don't think price of gas will ever be a factor, no matter how high it gets. I know guys with big boats that will not bat an eye at paying $600 in gas for a weekend of cruising. It's just part of the cost of having fun. Hell, if it came down to choosing between eating and taking my Challenger out on the weekends, I'd be going hungry. Hmm. Might not be a bad way to lose some weight.
