People who can't afford it have been using sunflower oil for lots of things, mostly for frying. Normal salads, on the other hand, is olive oil or nothing. Not counting things like Caesar's salad, "ensaladilla", ... and other that have special sauces.
The taste isn't the same, just as it's not the same the taste of a good olive oil from a normal one.
Pig fat has been on decline for a long time, but it's still used for some things. Butter is not that cheap, margarine isn't either, and it's not as good (in either taste or "health" reasons).
Olive oil is a staple in our kitchens, and things should change a lot before we stop using it. It's like telling Asian people to change and not use soya when it becomes expensive.
