Gas prices: What have you gone without? - Flumper Barflusterbutt - 08-26-2005

With the good news that gas prices are off a penny of the record high they reached yesterday (woohoo!), CNN has an article about what some people have done to compensate for the extra bucks spent at the pump http://money.cnn.com/2005/08/25/pf/gas_gripes/index.htm Some are pretty extreme: quiting a job, selling a car, etc.

So, what have you guys had to change or go without because of our "healthy" gas prices? Personally, I haven't done a darn thing...

No changes yet. I live a mile from work so I walk some days, but when I don't walk the "commute" isn't enough to use any gas really.

Could that be because you didn't tell me when you were in Seattle?
