I shudder to think of gasoline quadrupling. We’re already paying an arm and a leg. Found you through the 154th Carnival of Personal Finance.

What about buying oil stocks now, so that if gas does get up to $12 or $15, you’ll likely have at least double or tripled your money that way?

Quadrupling definitely affect my driving. It may be better look into fuel efficient cars in future days. You are right in saying socking away the money…

I’m currently going through a tank of gas about every 3-4 weeks at about $50. Quadrupling the price probably would not have much effect on my driving habits.

But I will probably get a more fuel-efficient vehicle as my next car. My Hyundai Elantra gets decent fuel economy on the highway, but I’m doing mostly city driving these days, and a hybrid would be much better for that. Unfortunately the Elantra’s only five years old and still under warranty, so it’s not quite ready for the scrap heap.

I think that your idea is a good one but I am also looking into alternative ways to fuel my car which will save me a lot more money. I currently have a hybrid car and that has halved my fuel bill.
