Curious, have you began to cut back on driving, making fewer trips or actually laying out a path/plan to cut back on the miles driven. Or, have you added walking, biking, public transportation to your needs to get around. Or maybe you have decided the trip is not worth the cost, so you don't go. Myself, now plan daily trips with path of fewest miles.
I've cut way back on driving anywhere. I work from home and I now meet my clients twice a month, instead of once a week. When I or the wife go out we do indeed make a ""plan""..this shit has gotten outta hand.
Something has to give, people will get buried if this stays the course.
I'll be O.K., but I feel for those who are getting hammered.:sad3:

I was suspose to go to South Bend this weekend but cancelled due to the price of gas and myself I have cut way back on Driving basically go to and from work and going to the store once a week to stock up for groceries for the week.These prices are ruining this country right now and its not going to get better anytime soon maybe worse.GREEDY BASTARDS !
Think it may be close to time to invest in one of the more high end gas scooters.
Down here, they're priced at $1500 or a bit less and rack up about 80mpg while also being able to do close to 50mph
A full 3 gallon tank would probably suffice for most of my local (10 mile radius) errands for at least a month.

If you initially planned this trip within the past two years, gas prices have not changed that much to where one would need to cancel a trip of any kind.
Prices up maybe a buck overall and what's a trip from C-town to South Bend - maybe 500 miles round trip?
That's like 25 gallons or less, barring your using some kind of low gas mileage sled.
Time to face the fact that it's not the greedy gas companies obstructing your trip, but more likely you're just too freakin' poor to be making road trips.
Get a job that earns you an extra 25 bones a week and you'll be in SouthBend getting drunk with FightingIrishFan before you know it.

Barman,Not everybody is like you genius and can afford to pay for high price gasoline.When gas prices go from about $3.08 2 weeks ago to $ 3.49 a gallon here in the Cleveland area its makes a BIG difference but with other bills and such its just not worth going.Im not poor but not rich either and going to South Bend area for some model train function with my father not the Notre Dame Spring Football game.So its our decision not to go and no big deal that we didnt go but just was expressing my opinion
on the subject of gasoline but by all means the prices are high and Most people are feeling the burden but not some like yourself I guess.
