The price of gas is insignificant.  The price of gas will only become
significant when one can't afford to pay for it.

I have a motorcyle which costs me $5 a day to fill up.  Most chocolate
bars are $2.  So for the price of two chocolate bars I can drive
wherever I want all day.  Pretty damn cheap if you ask me.  

When I was a kid in the 1960s a hamburger and chips with tomato and
lettice costs about 3.50.  Today that same burger costs $10.00  
Gas was 55 cent a gallon and store wages were a buck an hour.  Gas today
is about $4 a gallon.  My proper taxes are $5 a day in Vancouver just to
sleep on a piece of dirt.  In the 1970s my property taxes for the same
shack were 25 cents a day to sleep on a piece of dirt in Vancouver.
