Why do you think I'm home now and answering questions?
I already have a car that gets about 25mpg. Yes, I have cut back on just about everything.
Sorry merchants, but I/we can't buy your products because the landlords and energy companies are taking it all. Those of you who can't find jobs - it is because I/we can't buy those merchants products, so they can't hire more workers.
All those who agree, get off Yahoo answers and email your congress persons and the news media. I have several times over the past 5-6 years.
The root causes are:
"Free Trade", deregulation of energy and illegal immigration combined as a triple assault on the American middle and working class standard of living. They represent an abject failure on the part of government. This is one of the very few issues that both Republicans and Democrats in the work force agree on. Of course they disagree on who's to blame but they agree these policies are destroying their standard of living. Anyone who says contrary is probably greedy and is just looking for the short sighted stuffing of their own pockets without regard for their fellow citizens or the well being of their country.
Thanks for the great question.

I have cut WAY WAY WAY back on everything I don't spend like i used to I don't go out to eat hardly at all I make things last as long as I can. Gas is so rediculously expensive. I don't drive unless I have to. And even when I do drive its never very far. I never fill up my tank all the way and I want to get a small car that gets good milage instead of my explorer. Bring on the e-85 ethanol. I'm all for a different fuel. I would be happy if the price of gas stayed at one price and never went up or down. I would be thrilled with 1.55 for the rest of my life.

There's no way for me to cut down driving any more than I already do. I only go do errands twice a week and I save up what I need to do for those days. I do drive my son to school each day but we have no public transport nor do we have bus service and he's too young to bike it by himself.
I'll either have to get a second job or homeschool and grow my own food and cotton to make clothes. There's no reason for gas to be this expensive other than greed by the gas and oil robber barons.

Can't cut down driving where I live, I am 12 miles from the closest town and no public transportation here. Gas is $3.66 a gallon.

In Australia we are already paying close to that per litre (currency converted of course). And i have cut out driving to pay for food which has also gone up in price because of it. Think we'll have to buy a horse and cart!

We make the most of every trip these days. Need milk? We wait until we can compile needs all into one trip. Also, the motorcycle gets more of a work out lately.

I will continue to buy gas until it puts a strain on my budget, then I will make a decision where I would need to make cuts in my spending.
