This report is part of a series of studies dealing with general public behavior and attitudes towards energy conservation. Specifically, this study concentrates on consumer attitudes toward gasoline prices, shortages, and their relationships to inflation. Respondents to inquiries in the study were categorized according to whether their cars averaged under 15 miles per gallon, 15-19 miles per gallon, or 20 miles per gallon or more, and they were categorized by their average miles driven per week as follows: under 30 miles, 30-99 miles, 100 miles or more. The report includes data on the following: reasonableness of gasoline prices; efforts made to save energy; concern for gas mileage; attitudes towards rationing vs. higher prices; higher prices for low mileage cars; higher taxes on gas vs. taxes on cars; the environmental costs of producing more energy; environmental threats of energy self-sufficiency; power plants and pollution; water and air pollution; the impact of lowered car usage on rate of inflation; and sponsoring of ads on gasoline mileage.
