we were speculating what it would take for this country to make fundamental changes in your driving habits and I remember posting that unless gasoline reached $4.00 a gallon, I didn’t see it happening. I can’t find that thread, though. I can’t remember when exactly it was, who started it or what forum it was in. Can’t use “gas” as a search engine key word, obviously. Any ideas? ---

Re-reading the title, it should read “I’m trying _to find_ a thread…” ---

Unfortunately, that thread had several insulting exchanges among posters, some of whom no longer post here. Since it was a rather short thread, the noise to signal ratio was pretty high and I have closed it. Feel free to open a new thread with links to either the old thread or to particularly relevant posts in it. [/Mod note] ---
