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
Nothing.But I have invested in gift cards to maximize my Kroger fuel points :) -- nm - Meg Apr 6, 09:33
Nothing. I did save a couple bucks with an impromptu out of town fill-up, but that was incidental. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 6, 09:03
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
Nothing. Perhaps appreciating my Prius even more than usual - JD Apr 6, 07:54
I stopped going to Starbucks. I've been driving to Oklahoma a great deal lately. -- nm - St. Epiphany Apr 6, 07:40 1
- On… purpose? -- nm - Qale Apr 6, 08:37
probably going back to more WFH, havent been doing that as much due to staffing changes at work - tRuMaN Apr 6, 07:21 1
- you should have people come to your house and train them there -- nm - decline Apr 6, 07:30
nothing. -- nm - MDH Apr 6, 07:10
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
Nothing. We don’t do much driving so maybe go through one or two tankfuls a month? -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 6, 06:58
I guess we aren't heading out of town for weekend hikes etc right now, but the weather has been crappy so it's not like we had to make any tough -- (edited) - Andie Apr 6, 06:57
Nothing at all. My commute is just under 4 miles. It's actually out of the way to go get gas. -- nm - Volnelk Apr 6, 06:54
Nothing as I still don't drive so it doesn't directly impact me. -- nm - Krusty Apr 6, 06:48
I've had to take 2 trips in the past 2 weeks so my gas budget is blown all to hell. I have been adjusting my food/grocery purchases because of prices -- nm* - decline Apr 6, 06:46
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
I don't really drive so nothing. my last fill up was march 4th. food prices are starting to increase noticeably so I'm trying to more consciously - amanda jeans Apr 6, 06:43
