I'm not going to go rock climbing less because of the $8 in gas I burn for a trip. So it's irrelevant to me, it doesn't affect my life at all.
2. Following from my first point, gas is a relatively inelastic good so it's obvious most people, like me, don't really change their behaviour in response to gas prices. So most people can't do anything about it, they just give themselves anxiety over it because it does affect them more but it's not like they can cut out driving to work or whatever, 99% of people are not willing to carpool etc. I actually think this is a bad thing because
3. Gasoline is heavily over subsidized anyway. I believe in market economics and think rising gas prices are a great thing and gasoline subsidies should be removed entirely. Gas is relatively inelastic but a large price increase to what it actually costs to use gas, would actually force a change in consumer behaviours. To the extent that elasticity exists, it means less poor shitters on the road i.e. less traffic, or more electric vehicles. Both are a good thing.
Accurate post but there is slightly more elasticity in diesel demand because it can be a substitute for gas and companies can change their behavior due to price. -

The great thing about money is that it gives you options. I can choose to deal with an evolving situation however I want. However your (poor) life on the other hand moves at the whim of circumstance, with you powerless to control it. -
