Higher Gas prices = Better Drivers? I hope gas goes up

yes!

the guys with big engines should pay less…

The one advantage for me when gasoline prices were high was that I made the excuse that it was too expensive to mow the yard with the high gasoline prices. However, I bought a rechargeable battery electric mower at a good price from a friend. Now I hope electric rates go up so that I may again use the argument that energy costs are too high to mow the yard.

Please, folks, I urge you, don’t dig up old threads that already have hundreds of replies. It plugs up the forum needlessly and there’s nothing new to be said.

I respectfully request of Carolyn that this one be closed, put to bed for good.

I agree that it is time for this thread to be closed, but first, I have a couple of follow-up questions for the OP :
Do you also hope that the price of food goes up so that fat people lose weight?
Should we eliminate horns from cars in order to cut down on jaywalkers?

I wish I could have recorded my sigh-chuckle-groan when I saw this thread back at the top of the discussions. Before our OP answers @VDCdriver‌’s follow-ups, I’m going to close it. I usually defer to you guys to decide when everything’s been said about a subject (though I step in when things get off-topic), but I will make an exception here.
