Gas To Go Over $3/Gallon

The U.S. Energy Information Administration has predicted that gas prices will continue to rise as we get closer to warm weather and that the $3 mark should be crossed in the spring and summer of this year. The demand remains very low in the U.S. but overall demand is up, mainly due to China. This continues to put upward pressure on the price of crude and therefore the price of gas.
RVers are very price sensitive to fuel costs and coupled with many state parks being closed for economic reasons; we predict that RVers will stay closer to home. The patterns may be very similar to 2009. The patterns may change if RV campgrounds increase rates to take advantage of fewer choices for RVers due to state park closures.
In informal chats with RVers the resistance point for a full hookup seems to get intense the closer the rate gets to $40 per night. Where is your resistance point for staying in a private RV campground if gas is at/above $3/gallon? Drop a comment with your thoughts.
Happy Camping
