Meanwhile it's the single mom who just needs to get to work in her 10 year old corolla who really gets hosed.greengate said:It should be $10 a gallon, heading toward $15 to get the masses out of their SUV's and trucks. To get them into EV's, don't you think?
a 2005 Corolla easily gets 30+ MPG http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/Find.do?action=yourMpgVehicle&id=20796" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
I'd be more worried about the mom driving a Tahoe/Yukon (some call it a Yukahoe) or any of a dozen other vehicles of that age that get 15 MPG in mom style driving.
My 2005 Prius still gets 50-60 MPG in normal commuting.
Given the wide range of MPG (15, 30, 60) I'd be fine seeing gas prices rising steadily to get more of those low MPG vehicles off the road. Put Mom in a vehicle with better MPG please.
