Sacred Heart University published results of a nationwide study:

71.3% of respondents said higher gas prices are having a very serious or somewhat serious impact on their quality of life.

51.2% said their next car will be smaller & more fuel efficient

The newspaper report I read did not have any more detail on the study.

Here in Southern California, "smaller & more fuel efficient" means the new Hummer H3 !!!

72% will forget that gas prices are high when they see the new Mustang on the lot.

NOTE: Replace 'Mustang' with whatever car they think looks cool at the time.
