I have to go where I have to go. Most
of my driving is volunteer work related or necessary
for my children. |
|
The price increase hasn't made a
difference in changing my destinations. In the nice
weather I have always used my bike not to save
gas so much as for the exercise. |
|
As seniors our driving is limited and
mostly necessary. |
|
Can't really change driving habits as
have to drive to work for groceries etc. Public
transit would be a welcome alternative especially
between South & Port! |
|
In this area it is almost impossible
to manage without a vehicle. I dispise the increase in
fuel prices but know that I don't have much of an
option but to pay the money. |
|
will keep coming to Port Elgin for the
summer. & keep driving around on coll 7 rain day. |
|
The price of gasoline changed my driving
habits many years ago. |
|
We don't go very far from home except
for summer vacation which I am not giving up because
of gas prices. We'll just suffer through it and hope
that it gets better! |
|
I'll drive less |
|
I started driving in 1966 back then I
drove like a mad man 'Speeding all the time. And gas
was only $0.50 a gallon. Now that I am much older the gas is
a lot more to pay for sometimes it has been
$1.45 a Lt. Yes I do drive much slower. So I guess my
driving habits has change a lot. |
|
I will be driving my gas guzzling
truck a lot less. |
|
I will be driving at the speed limit.
Please do not ride my tail!! |
|
For sure we will be changing our
driving habits. There is only so much money to go
around. We have much higher water and sewer bills
hydro is skyrocketing food prices are on the
rise .. the car will be parked alot more than it has
been that's for sure! |
|
Higher gas prices are actually good
for us people will walk more ride bikes share rides or
take public transportation. All better for our
environment. |
|
I'm trying to replace little in town
trips to walking (often with my dog) instead of
driving. I figure that it's a little better for me a
little better for my dog and a little less money
to the oil companies. |
|
Park It* |
|
They are nothing but thieves the oil
companies that is I won't drive as much! |
|
closer to home is where you will find me
I can think of lots of better ways to spend my money |
|
Driving has always been a privilge ...
but now it will be tempered by cost! |
|
Yes driving slower does help. |
|
Looking at getting rid of my gas
guzzling Honda CRV and purchasing a 2012 Ford Focus
Hatchback. Almost double the gas mileage same
amount of utility. |
|
We will definitely try to walk more
while in town. |
|
What it will hurt are the stores less coffee
and take outs daily trips will now be a lot less. just sit
back and think how hard it is going to effect people... |
|
Will have to cut down on driving
making less trips for items needed and because gas is
rising spending less in the community! |
|
Yes. I am watching my Tach to try to
maximize my gas mileage and not accelerating too
quickly. It seems to be helping. DWL |
|
It makes sense for all of us to drive less:
it saves money is better for our health to walk/bike/etc.
and we get to know our neighbours better! |
|
We are trying to shop more in town but
are experience some frustration with finding items we
need. |
|
Since I have to drive so much for work
I will certainly be watching how far I go for pleasure
this summer .... |
|
Gave up our trip to PEI. |
|
Local businesses are the ones who suffer the
most. |
|
We won't be driving up to our cottage
as much..costs 80.00 to fill our van every wknd.Less
money spent in saugeen shores. |
|
I'll try to cycle in town fewer trips out of
town will be planned to multitask. |
|
Gas prices have already altered our
driving habits for at least the past three years. From
Southampton we drive less overall. We combine trips
especially to far away Port Elgin and over the horizon
Owen Sound... |
