Even @$3 its $120! Realistic? Realistic? Even if they arent morons enough to pay that they are putting a big sign on our backs saying "KICK ME!" to the oil companies and hostile countries who sell us our oil. Who are rubbing their slimy dirty hands with glee over it.

Georges Bushes war in Iraq, Bernie Madoffs ponzi scheme, and now Obamas war in Libya. To which we can add people using 40 gallons of gas a week when >20 would do...

I have Dodge diesel which takes 35 gallons. Don't drive it much but I can't pull the trailer or carry plywood with the Yaris. I know people who will spend over $600/month on gas.

I have a 4X4 Tundra DC (V8) 26 gal tank, 16 mpg, $100 to fill at the present time.

It went into semi-retirement last month, when I bought the Yaris. I will use it for any heavy hauling, camping, hunting, fishing, nasty winter road conditions, etc.

I used to have an (old) V8 Silvarado with 175,000 miles on it I bought for $600 to do chores with. But I only drove it to work once or twice a month to keep the oil circulating and the battery charged. Put maybe 500-1000 miles a year on it. Almost all the 1000 cars in my companies lot are SUVs or fourwheel drives. I bet you could count the number of 4 cylinder cars on two hands! And some of them might be 2.4 liter jobs too!
