Re: Four dollars a gallon.
you can't take pictures with a view camera while moving in a car, so i don't understand what the gas price has to do with it. it's more worthwhile to walk to distant lands and take pictures on a tripod. a lot less motion blur than from a car.
Re: Four dollars a gallon.
Well we are currently paying the equivalent of around $8.30/US Gallon here in the UK. There's a lot of folks here who would dream of $4/Gallon!

I would like to know what you have to say and share on this subject. I do see myself curtailing my outings to certain times, locations and destinations. What do plan to do?
Increase prices for my products and charge more for my services.

Ya, but you don't use real cars. (Sorry could not help, it's obviously joke, this morning I watched few minutes of Mr. Bean and his three-wheeler)

Actually you're not too far off the truth there :) - this is my little car, but of course I'd argue that all the other cars aren't real...:D
Re: Four dollars a gallon.
It's already $3.29 for a gallon of regular. $4.00 is another 20% or so. You make it sound like it's already cheap and going to be REALLY expensive.
Re: Four dollars a gallon.
americans can expect to pay $5/gal by xmas 2008.
(that's my prediction)

I would love a Caterham 7, but in Canada it would be a complete waste of time and dangerous too ... oh for the country roads back in England ...
Re: Four dollars a gallon.
the difference between $2 a gallon and $4 a gallon won't make much difference on relatively close locations (locations within a few hundred miles), being that most cars can get 300 miles to the tank, the difference of a few dollars per gallon on a tank or two isn't a deal breaker. Considering most of us spend several dollars per shot in film alone. I like to travel within a few hundred miles. I would travel more, but I don't usually get more than one day off at a time, so I'd rather spend my time hiking and photographing closer locations, than driving 500 miles. My mustang gets about 14mpg, but if I had the time I wouldn't hesitate to take a long trip. I'm fortunate enough to live next to mountains, deserts, oceans, and hills all within 100 miles or so. :-D
