Gasoline to hit $4 this summer and probably will be here to stay

Just from various articles I read, national average will hit $3.8 by Spring and over $4 by Summer. $4 a gallon is by no means a new record, as we’ve already seen that back in '08; However the difference is time it will probably be here to stay.

I guess people will now need to seriously consider riding bikes out of necessity. My average mpg back when I was riding my 250 was 240+ mile on a tank of fuel, which is around 3 gallon under normal riding. Heck, even my R6 gets 140+ miles from the same amount of fuel and that is around 46 mpg actual.

So how will $4 gas prices affect your summer plans and the way you all travel or have fun in general?
