Rising gas prices will result to Americans opting to find other means of transportation that costs less. Instead of driving, they may decide to ride public transport, walk, or ride a bike. Others who can afford to will opt to buy cars that is more fuel efficient. This means that they will still be driving but the car will burn lesser gas compare to before.
