Guess there aren't enough EV's about with their pathetic range to control ppls movement.

Jack up the fuel prices.

Task accomplished.
Zoo Doors will remain closed.

A 500 mile road trip @ 20 mpg would cost you $62.50 each way @ $2.50/gal and $100 each way @ $4.00/gal.....so $37.50 more each way. That isn't worth thinking about.

Right, if an extra $75 is going to break your budget maybe you shouldn't have been going on a vacation anyway.

To answer the OP, I obviously don't enjoy paying more for gas, but it's not going to affect my daily life.

It's worth noting that the politicians, both D and R, that are saying the high gas prices are a sacrifice we need to make don't have to pay for theirs. They're riding in limousines and flying in jets like rock stars for free and telling us how hard times are.

You can’t be this poor to where this matters

The people saying this are the same ones who post things like "they came for me, but no one spoke for me because by then there was no one left to speak". The guy has principles. Zack Greinke (MLB pitcher) had similar principles:
“I like the guacamole. Now, I don’t really love the guacamole. So I get it when I feel like it. They changed their guacamole from $1.50 to $1.80. I mean, $1.50 is already pretty darn high. So they changed it to $1.80, and I’ll never again get guacamole. It’s not about the guacamole itself, I just don’t want to let them win.”

Can I afford an extra $70 to drive and see my parents? Yea
Do I want to spend it that way? Hell no
