deeno, don't forget that a significant portion of gas/fuel is due to imposed state taxes. States will offset the loss of direct fuel tax revenues by increasing license fees and/or imposing annual milage driven fees to make up for the tax revenues lost. So it doesn't matter if fuel is $1 or $5 the consumer will not really benefit from an operational expense point of view. Yep, you will get 30mpg, but the initial savings will just be reallocated in some other imposed tax program. Net/Net it is a wash.
