It seems everyone I know is more concerned about how much my gas costs except me. I'm more concerned about the heating fuel for my house this Winter than the gas I use for my H2. I just drove to Colorado (from Chicago) and back (2nd Colorado trip by the way)--hell of a drive but I loved every minute of it.
The week after Katrina, I decided to fill my tank (it was $3.40 then) and when I got to the station people were lined around the block. The scene reminded me of the early '80s and gas rationing-- people were downright irate, belligerent, in a panic. I heard several shouts of "get that f---ing Hummer..." (I think they were driving a Yugo) this and that. Did it bother me? No. I'm sure the several dual-wheel Ford pickups were in the same boat--did anyone have a problem with them?
Bottomline is, the might alter my driving habits a bit (small bit) but I'll never get rid of the H2. In fact, I'd like to have an H1 too.
By the way, I loved devilsfan's themepark analogy.
