Gas prices - have you changed your driving habits

Let' say i can't buy as much gas either. I live in a rural area and driving to anything is going to be a 4-5mi. trip provided they have what i need. -----Willy

30 mi to the nearest little town and back. 38 round trip to the bank. Glad just about everything can be done online these days. If I could only get inexpensive fresh groceries and Doctor visits online. Up to 78 mi each way to work. Sure glad I'm mostly on the retired end of semi-retired.

I buy gas for my pick-ups, and various power tools. I also need diesel for my large truck and tractors, so cost of fuel is very much on my mind. I try very hard to control my costs but no matter what i do, it never seems enough. Of course i don't drive all to anything like my main transport, the V-6 pickup. I did buy that in order to do what i have to do as nothing else comes close. I no longer have a car due to insurnace reasons as it never got used very much anything and was a reason to part with it. I got rid of the RV too, didn't use it much but was great to have. So, what I do have is a must, it would take a little more to part with anything else or simply park it for more at least for the time being. Ahhhh shoot.... enjoy -----Willy

... our "best laid plans" would work today if I wasn't retired, and had children to to drive here and there. Trying to stay within a budget must be harder as some things cannot be predicted very far in advance.

Not to sound like a pessimist, but I wonder we will see $2/gal (not including state and local taxes) gas again on a sustained basis.

I'm getting ready to mow the lawn with my little lawn tractor if the grass has dried from the morning rain. Even that takes 3/4 of a tank. Fortunately, it takes regular unleaded.
