My cost-of-living (rent, car, insurance, utilities, cable, food) is one half of my salary. Thereby, the high cost of gas might be cutting into my discretionary spending, but I'd be hard to measure the effect of gas prices in the standard of measure, video games. I'm probably about .5 video games poorer than I was when gas was cheaper. I get about 28 MPG, I think.
That said, I do have empathy for those who feel the crunch. I'd offer to drive them around, but my car only holds 2.5 people comfortably.
