So no, I don't think it will effect me at all (but it might effect the person giving me a ride for one of my 'different house' vacations)

Hehehe.

Unless, you give me a ride on your wheelchair.

Hahaha. It might take a while to get anywhere, it doesn't go very fast or very far... Haha.

But.. I have talked about putting rocket boosters on it, before. Maybe some wings... I think I was going to fly it to Australia.

I plan to travel less and spend less on little unimportant things. Bills come first and my child. So that means less traveling and family vacations until the gas price go back down. Gas prices is getting way out of control and it not worth to blow more money away when the gas price is so high. People swallowed hard when gas hit $2 a gallon last year. Now, it has passed yet another horrific milestone. In some parts of the country, people are paying as much as $3 a gallon at the pump. That's just ridiculous. Plus, there's no sign that things are going to get any better. It gonna get higher like $5.00 or more this summer. I'm also very tired of hearing about how our government is working with Saudi Arabia to try to stop the rising price of oil. I can see those heads of oil-producing countries just laughing as they continue to jack up the cost per gallon. If we would just threaten to stop protecting all those countries, I think we'd see an immediate drop in oil prices.

The gas prices don't really bother to me. Why should I skip vacation or party over gas price. Don't let gas price beat us. Car with good mpg check, carpool check, homemade dinner and lunch more than out for food check then you will be fine. Just think positive.

Welcome to 21th century.

I don't think the president have much to do with the gas prices. But I do hope the next new president find a way to make a vote to keep the gas price down. LIfe sucks doesn't it when everything get expensive. :-)

Gas prices are ultimately having a cascading effect on inflation within the entire economy rising inflation too high of rate. Employers cannot raise all employees salaries equivalently to stablize economy; partially out of fear of market volatility and risk of future losses, as well as they simply cannot make so frequent "cost of living" rate increases as this would destroy their assets and bankrupt them, further fueling recession.

It does affect my travel plan, because I plan to fly there at end week of this month, but postponed to fall. If I go there this month, I spend more on flight ticket, and less spend in Russia. If I go to fall, I spend less on flight (hopefully ticket went down), and spend more in Russia.

Yes, start in about August, it's bit cheap until October.

It just affect more from other country such as China and India, for example, they used to take less gas until business boom. More people are use gas. It stir up every other country in supply demand.

First one will be down to Los Angeles. Im not going to let gas prices ruin my dream of seeing Lakers play in championships! I pray that Lakers will beat Boston for my birthday gift! Nice way to forget that I will be turning 41

Other trips will be to the coast or mountains but I will give up my daily latte at Starbucks in order to afford these mini road trips

Life is too short not to experience life.

I saw that

We were suppose to go to Florida, but it's not gonna happen. *sigh*
