No... But then, I'm pretty settled. The driving I do is pretty much nessesity.

Usually I just drive to school because I'm always running late. I've started leaving on time and walking to school, grocery, etc.

Takes a little over 30 minutes to get to school via walking.

I cut out most of the unnecessary "sunday driving" when gas broke $2 a gallon.

I hardly ever take my jeep out trail riding anymore because its at least one full tank of gas.

Now my jeep just pulls a trailer of 4 wheelers.

Not yet -- that could change if it passes around $5/gallon.

I bought a 4 cylinder car for a reason.

Unless i have to go to work, the store, or take pops to a doctor that's out of his comfortable driving distance, I don't like to drive, so nope! Same ol same ol here.

And it helps having a little hyundai. Great mileage.

I'm doing what I can, but I have to drive up to LA tomorrow, and back(for an interview)...and that'll run me at least $60 in gas.

I have a prius so gas prices aren't nearly as bad for me. But I do remember when I bought it it only cost $12 to fill. Now it's $23.

As cars become more and more gas efficient, gas prices will continue to rise. Surprise.

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.

No, but I already drive very little as it is. To work and back, and to the grocery store. I don't do any other regular driving.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The ignition not working in my car currently has me not driving. However I'd cut down on my driving already because of prices and no need to anymore.

I'm actually thinking about picking up a new bike to get me to/from work instead of a car.

Nope. Moving to a small town where you can walk pretty much everywhere has made me cut back on driving. However, gas prices aren't stopping me from driving back to Calgary on a regular basis.
