While there is a certain amount of inelastic demand -- if you have to drive to work, you have to drive to work -- it will have a definate impact on, say, going to restaurants and movies, and on vacations. At the current levels I already consider how much it will cost me to drive to a favorite eatery (about $4.00 for the one I'm thinking of).That's 10-20% of a bill right there.No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.Comment

How is that different from what any other tax does?"You're the biggest user of hindsight that I've ever known. Your favorite team, in any sport, is the one that just won. If you were a woman, you'd likely be a slut." - Slowwhand, to Imran

Even with the driving to work thing, I'm guessing a lot of people would start carpooling if gas was $10/gallon.Comment

A lot of people wouldn't have to worry about getting to work if it was $10/gallon.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

Because they wouldn't have work.Comment

If you had to pay $10/gallon (equivalent local currency), you're possibly just in Europe.

I don't think it does, no.
Here in Rochester if gas were $10/gallon the economy would grind to a halt. We have some token level of mass transportation in the form of buses and no feasible way of expanding it other than buying more buses, which use gas.Comment

I meant it as an oblique reference to high unemployment across Europe/Europeans not working.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.Comment

That's not because of gas taxes, which are actually smart. It's because they have "strong unions," who keep people from working.
God bless the USA, and God bless Governor Scott Walker.

Here's a thought for you, most people in haulage/transport are not unionized while many, many haulage/transport companies have gone bust in recent years due to spiralling fuel costs.Comment

Why wouldn't those fuel costs be passed on to customers? How many people are going to stop having their goods hauled if the cost goes up?Comment
