Honestly, it would have to be over $5 before I make any serious changes to my habits. At $7 I would probably trade the Accord for a Civic or Civic Hybrid or other Hybrid. At $10 I would sell the van for a larger Hybrid type vehicle for our second vehicle... and request a raise in pay to compensate for the increased cost of living. At $15 I would probably move closer to work and buy a bicycle.

Realistically there are too many people that need transportation and power to pull farm equipment to go back to the horse. When tractors came out (namely the Farmall) they proved that the land used to keep the horses up could be put into production and the tractor would come out cheaper/more profitable. Labor costs would skyrocket if we went back to the horse, etc...

There is no easy solution, but also I don't think there is quite so much need for the alarm/excitement.

I'm sure someone will reply and blow 5 gallon gas can size holes in my thoughts and theories... Oh well.
