What are you doing about gas prices now that they are around $3.00? Is it easier this time because you learned to cope last time? To me it just doesn't seem as bad, I guess I've been conditioned to the changes.

I still put the same amount in my Car which lasts me till I get paid again, the only time I notice the big difference is when I travel to my Son and Daughter s I need to fill the Car and that is when I see the Difference

well its a fact that we cannot do something about the increase of it, we just have to lessen the use of gas for it not to greatly affect our everyday lives

We use the cars that get the best mileage, especially for our longer trips. We try to limit trips. I guess that is all we can do. It is not as bad, I guess because it never got back down really low.

They like it when we get used to stuff like that. Although I will admit that I'll be adapting much easier to it this time because of last time. My driving habits have changed a lot so it won't be so costly for me. Since I only drive about 50 miles a week, it won't impact me much anyway. My sons in Phoenix are dreading it, though. That city is so big and spread out that driving 300 miles a week to work and back is quite common!

i cannot do something about the prices of the fuel. maybe, i just lessen my travel so i can also save gas. but the situation here is becoming worse. the transport groups are doing rallies, strikes almost everyday, to call for the roll back of prices and increase in fares.

I know it is a big pain but I'm not going to worry about it. There's nothing we can do to prevent it so why worry? Besides somewhere gas is a lot higher.

We can still get it at 2.69 but we know as it gets closer to the summertime it will be up to 3 dollars again. Its just so aggravating. What we do is cut down on driving and make sure when we do go out we make sure we get everything we need in one shot so we don't have to make extra trips. We also go the faster route.

There isn't all too much you can do,really. I need my car to get to work. I refuse to keep worrying about it as I don't have any control about it anyway. But I do try to drive sensibly, hence using less petrol.
