Honestly, at this point, I look at it as a luxury. I own a Jeep Wrangler on 33" tires and a VW Jetta wagon (Family car) that gets 30 mpg. I routinely drive the Jetta for my daily 80 mile round trip commute, but that doesn't stop me from taking the 15 mpg Jeep once or twice a week. The weather's nice, I wanna ride around with my top down and the doors off...taking the Jeep.
When and if gas reaches that ridiculous price, I'm not selling my toys. I will drive them a lot less, but they are a passion to me. When I'm not spending time with the family, I'm in the garage or on the trails. I look at it like owning a boat. If you own a boat, you spend a great deal on fuel to go out for the day and it's worth the pleasure you get out of it.
