ST poll - gas/budget crunch. What if anything have you specifically cut back on to counter the gas prices. Could be " nothing" just curious -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 6, 06:42 24
- Unfortunately, I'm driving more. -- nm - jnine Apr 6, 11:06
- A couple times we put off something a day so we could combine a trip. Stayed home once instead of driving to Seattle for a show. -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 6, 10:39

- Haven't cut back too much, but I'm far more conscious about the number of trips I take. - ReluctantCynic Apr 6, 08:27
- Nothing. Since we work from home, we still don't spend much on gas. - Dark Callisto Apr 6, 08:08

- I've cut out extra trips places. -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 07:09
- no. Realistically, going from $3.50 to say $4.50 in gas is roughly $10 per tank (using easy numbers) or maybe a total of $40/month for me - oblique Apr 6, 07:06
- nothing. I don't drive much, even considering I live in the country. gas once/fortnight maybe. -- nm - mafic Apr 6, 06:59 1
  - also the feds here just killed the fuel excise tax for 6 months, so gas isn't really all that outlandishly expensive anymore. -- nm - mafic Apr 6, 06:59

- We might buy a few less non-essential food items, but driving still needs to be done, so *shrug* -- nm - Shaun Apr 6, 06:45
- nothing really...paying attention to spikes and drops and filling up at Costco when best I guess -- nm* - Beaker Apr 6, 06:45
