Nah, I'm one of those 1% people.


Seriously, I'm not, but other than cutting back on "frivolous" trips we still drive our 2 Jeeps - '11 Grand Cherokee and '07 Liberty with horrendous gas mileage.

I typically only drive two days of the week. So, no, not really.

No. My record so far for filling up (only 60 liters too, so it wasn't an empty tank) is $130. Maybe when it costs $200 per tank I'll consider cutting back.

Yes. Not the most recent gas price increases, but I've been trying to take the bus since last semester whenever it makes sense.

Saves a buttload of money.

No but I rarely drive anyway so not much I can really change.

The rising prices have not changed my driving practices.

I have to drive to work regardless. Fortunately my workplace is also very near where I do my shopping, laundry and most of my other weekly errands so they are not really an extra drain since I am "there" already. Having a car that gets 30 MPG also helps.

driving is my entertainment so I don't really cut back. If it were to get to $5 a gallon I might scale my fun trips a little.



This is a lie. I know you drive 5-10 mph below the speed limit all the time, which is about as entertaining as driving a nail through your testicles with a stiletto heel.

Not really, I don't drove that much anymore to begin with and if it comes down to it I can work from home more.

Nah. Hasn't changed things for me a bit. Sure, I cuss when I have to spend 80 bucks 2 or 3 times a week on gas, but not like I can do without it....so I just cuss and keep on filling them up.
