I already paid $4.50 a gallon a few months ago for premium gas in my motorcycle. It costed me $90 to fill up my Ram truck. I can afford that. Can some dude with a family of 4 and a house and expenses afford that? What about when it shoots up to $5, $6, $7 a gallon? Even IF you can afford it, at what point will people look over the costs and determine that it is not worth it? LOL!! At $6 a gallon a ZL1 will cost over $100 a tank. Half a tank will be over $50. How long will that last? And all for what? That will be one expensive ride. And again, what happens when you can't even get the gas for your vehicle?
And none of this even matters because some states have already banned the sale of gas vehicles by 2035. Other states will follow. And then they'll make it illegal to even operate a gas powered vehicle on public roads. So it doesn't matter what the public thinks or wants. The reality is that the government has already decided and there is no turning back.

Could the government starts throwing in incentives and tax breaks for Camaros?
That is the type of market manipulation people are referring to. In 1905, manufactures sold electric, steam and gasoline powered automobiles. The market chose the winner. There are or technologies that are being erased because the government is choosing the winner.
