It's because people can't afford to drive all over hell. They are more inclined to stay at their house. I'll have friends say come to Lawrence or Topeka. I tell them it will cost me 30 dollars to drive there and back so I say screw it. We are finally witnessing the point where the resource is becoming somewhat elastic.

My car gets 16 miles per gallon. It's 16 miles to work. If gas is 3.50 a gallon I'm actually paying 7 dollars every freaking day to get to work. Now that is just ridiculous.

If we had cars that got 70 mpg we wouldn't have this problem. I want to buy a Honda Insight that gets that gas mileage, but even buying a 2000 with 150K miles is 14K. And the thing is tiny and has no back seats.
