If gas gets to $5.00 a gallon

[AuSeeker]

first off......IF?!?!?! Here in Md we've been at or above $5/gal for months now.

secondly, i answered number B...my truth is i own a sport touring motorcycle which i ride 3-4 times to week to commute to work, from April to November. And since that bike gets 38-45mpg depending on speed, that substitutes for the 4Runner during the warmer months of the year here in the mid atlantic.

It is what it is...thankfully i do have a solid, well paying job that affords me the ability to keep driving what i want. Plus, my 2014 T4R has been paid off since 2019...so its not like ive got to make payments, pay full-insurance premiums, AND buy gas...

You do realize this topic is not a new topic, it's from 2007/2008.

Yes, a blast for the past! But goes to show there really isn't anything "new under the sun!"

And same for me as far as everything paid off - in this evolving world train-wreck situation, I think one of the best things is to have all debt paid off, so when various turmoils come, things can (hopefully) be weathered more effectively.

But another interesting thing is that if you take into consideration inflation and income, believe it or not $5 a gallon is not a much different impact than what gas was in the 1970s . . . (of course that may not be much comfort to those who's budgets are extremely tight already)

Your best bet is to go over and post this in the 3rd gen section, since you have a 2000. They should be in the best position to help you.
