With gas prices down, people will probably drive more or drive their gas guzzlers more along with gas guzzler toys which will bring oil consumption back up a bit.

I hope it stays down for good. Everything else is going up up and up. It would be nice to have something that actually went down for once.

Yea thats true but US drivers account for a very small amout of our total consumption, most of it goes to freight/manufacturing, etc. which is down 13% already, China is using 600,000 barrells a day less than they were a few months ago and they (OPEC) can't cut production fast enough to stop the price decline. I also think that the fear of prices going up will keep people from going out and buying gas guzzlers, and the psychological impact of the high prices will stay around for a while. it cost me 14 dollars to fill up my integra this morning though, can't say i feel compelled to drive any more than usual, :P

But I bet you won't be thinking about driving any less because of gas prices like you might have been a few months ago. :P

Re: How low will it go?
 

Most trucks are on used car dealerships after people bailed on them this summer. I think most people got use to not driving for the last year not sure if people will actually start driving like they did years ago unless gas stays low for awhile. Food costs better come down soon atleast by spring.

i've always driven a lot just for fun. friday i drove 100 miles just cruising around town.
yesterday was about 80 miles.
i love to drive and the cost of gas never has stopped me, but it's much more fun now that a tank is under $20.

I love road trips too but at 5 bucks a gallon I wasnt driving around with a smile on my face.

Re: How low will it go?
 

i did the same when i drove a tahoe and when i drove my old 70 chevy pickup.
i like to drive, it's a hobby of mine.
some people like to go to the moives or whatever. i like to drive.

Re: How low will it go?
 

So if you're driving an average of about 90 miles a day, 7 days a week, and let's say you're getting 20mpg at $4 a gallon, you're spending $126 a week on gas.....just for fun. :l I can't say I'd want to spend an extra $500/month driving around just for fun. What kind of car do you drive that's so fun to cruise around in? ??? I gotta get one. :y
