Would you consider a road trip since the gas price is low

I just wondering would you go on travel again on a road trip with your family or friends since the gas price is surprisingly lower than we expected it to be during the summer time. From what I saw, the price on every gas station is lowering bit by bit on day by day process. Would you expect it to be lower than the $3.00 mark by the time it turns to Fall season? I might consider to drive somewhere far with a friend again if the price continues to go down. Why not, we can still be able to afford it, and we just haven't had fun for a while.

I will certainly drive with my friends or family.Coz it's really a cool experience for me to just having such relax.As we all know that the gas price is all times high.So why not.Otherwise we need to travel. Everything then start after a perfect road trip.

I actually have that plan. But I guess I'm gonna have to wait for a while since its already school time for my son. I wish the prices of gas has lowered prior to school days. Well, I do hope that it will continue to lower down rather than raise up again while I am still looking for the right timing to go on a road trip with my family.

I might... we'll just have to see about whether or not my wife and I can fit it into our schedule. It's something that we've definitely put off because of the gas prices and we would love to do a little something. Her best friend lives down in San Diego, about 3 hours away from us, so maybe that's something we can do. We're also thinking about heading east to Las Vegas if we can get away. It's nice to see that the gas is down, but I don't think we'll just go driving again just for the sake of driving or going on a road trip simply to go. It's still so high... I guess it's also because I remember a simpler time when gas was less than $2 a gallon. Now THOSE we're days to take off and "just go." Some people are saying that it might go down below three when we get into the holiday season. Hopefully that's the case because that might push me to take a few trips I otherwise might not have taken.

The first weekend in August Randy and I are going to California to see a Dodger Game. His birthday is July 28th, but the Dodgers will not be in town until the weekend after his birthday. I know he really wants to see a game since he has never been to a professional game before and I know he will love it. I figure since it is only for the weekend that it would be worth driving. I hope that gas prices will really come down. I know there was a previous discussion you posted where you said that you wonder if gas prices are coming down because it is an election year. I think you may be right.

If I could afford it I would love to take a nice road trip. But having a 8 month old baby doesn't really make it ideal. I am thinking of saving for vacations, so when she gets older, and will enjoy it we can take such vacations. Where would you go if you took a road trip?

I say, no matter the gas price I would go. As it is, we have online earnings to help us fund it. Lower gas prices just means more money spent on trinquets then on gas. Though honestly the factors I consider for a road trip aren't at all related to the gas prices.

I just might go down to the Beach because of the Gas Prices. Before they were almost $4 and now they are going as low as $3 and I think at the rate that the gas is going i think it will probably go lower then that but, I'm sure once Fall begins .. the gas prices will most likely go right back up unless... i am prove wrong I'm just going to continue with that thought of mind haha..
