That means millions of people either driving a small deathtrap or driving fewer miles. I don't think that will significantly happen until it gets closer to $4/gal. A lot of people who try to do this will probably find mass transit increasingly overcrowded and the associated rates rising for that as well. Thus, they will probably just buy less other stuff and keep buying gas.

Don't try to bring your logic in here! It's not welcomed.
