I didn't say people wouldn't change behavior. They will and have already, to varying degrees. All I said was that a moped is a poor substitute for a car. It may be an OK substitute for certain specific uses of a car or in certain limited situations, but for most people and many uses of a car, switching to a moped is not remotely under consideration and still wouldn't be even at $9 gas. More people will change behavior as better substitutes come to market. Which, as discussed above, is already happening.
