How will you cut back if the gasoline prices spike again? (best)

[selhars]

Not planning any changes. Will just have to suck up the increased cost.

I agree.

Make sure you do proper maintenence on your vehicle. Tire pressure check often, rotate tires and balancing, allignment, etc. Drive like a grand ma.

I just bought another bicycle.

I will do some mild hyper-miling-style driving on days when I am not too impatient and just want to speed.

I already combine trips whenever possible just because I don't like driving all over creation.

Other than that, given that I don't have a long commute and also work from home part-time, it shouldn't be too much of an impact.

Carpool to and from work. My commute is under ten miles, but it adds up.

We already walk 95% of where we need to go around town.

I would imagine that most of the financially savvy will have hedged against the increase of gasoline prices in a manner in which they will have to take on minimal change.

I would also imagine that the frugal folks are already frugal enough to take on any change in gasoline prices.

[TabulaRasa]

Yeah, it doesn't really make a big difference for us, as our driving is already fairly minimal.

Have a produce store right in the back yard
= produce increase will not affect me much & don't have to spend on gas if you stay home.

Starting my seeds early this year as we speak.

Add:
DH likes to bike by choice as a form of exercise when the weather permits.

I doubt we will change anything to accommodate. We drive a minimal amount as it is, mostly because we prefer to be at home than out and about. I think both cars logged less than 3000 miles last year.
