I generally agree with your comments, but don't you see a very non-linear response for price/demand right around the region that has become familiar? Once we are used to $3/gal it becomes no big deal again. But if it were $1/gal, then $2/gal seems terrible, until we become accustom again.

>The price difference is $2,000, I think, which means at $2/gal, driving 15K miles per year, it will take 10 years before the hybrid pays for itself in terms of gas saved.

But, you're forgetting about the $2K tax rebate, which of course expires at the end of this year.

In my case, I drive 25-30K miles a year; I'd save like $1,000 every year already at current gas prices.
