Is the price of gas preventing you from taking as many trips or vacations?

Not yet.....I took the biggest part of my vacation a couple of weeks ago and had bought my airline ticket back in March. It won't affect my vacation.....I have worked to hard for that but I definately find myself cutting back on other things! Like not having the tv on when I am not downstairs as I heard that our utilities are supposed to raise by 20% too!

I frequently travel between Pennsylvania and Maryland. Half a year ago, a plane ticket would have been around fifty dollars, now its more than doubled: my last flight was nearly $110. i guess i'll be making fewer trips then...

The gas price certainly is having a huge impact on my travel plans, going to work, going shopping, going on vacation. I was planning to drive up to a friends place over the weekend, and I have cancelled that. To go to work, I am taking the bus these days.

Yes the high price of gas is really affecting my vacation plans. I really was wanting to travel alot. But I live on social security disability, so money really is tight for me. I will take a trip to see my mother and the rest of my family back home with my sister, it is 1,000 miles away, We have not been able to go home foe 2 years, hard to tell when we will ever get back there again, gas is so high.I want to go see my sister but she lives 5 hours away.We do go to the amusement / water park every other week end it is about 45 minutes away, we have season passes there.

Yes, tremendously! Instead of going far we just content ourselves to the nearby resort and perhaps will be missing the beautiful far places we frequently visit for long till the gas price goes down again. But will it ever go down again?

Gas is expensive, and the people who sell it are the devil. Everyone will be suffering soon, because of how expensive it is, and the price will keep rising, increasing the injury.

oh yes... i try my best to save the fuel by travelling less... we only go to places which is near to our house to do shopping or groceries... we also cut down on our travelling quite a bit as the gas price here has hit $1.70 per litre for unleaded premium and i fill my car with the premium which cost $0.10 more per litre... so i spend about $80 to $90 per week just for gas... it is ridiculous... but we can't really do anything about it... take care and have a nice day...

hi ShadyGrove , well i think that in our country we use oil more than gas and it has also skyrocketed in the past few months and the increase is as steep as 18% and due to that reason all are now on a saving spree. so that definitely has a cut down on the vacations. it is not only the vacations but also on the drives that we go. anyways have a good day.

Yes. Gas is outragious. My family and I have been trying over the years to make or buy things to have to do around the home instead of travelling to some place for some enjoyments. We try to have fun here since gas is so high. We live in the country and everything is very far away from us anyway.

To be honest we never took trips or vacations to begin hardly at all. I guess people are becoming more like us. I guess you could say things reached a boiling point because they passed laws to where you have to pay back your bankrupsey instead of just ruining your credit and not paying it back. Than came the foreclosures. Now people are having to learn to spend their money more wisely. I'm sure it will be a good thing later on after the economy gets better. Companies and people were definitly losing money because these rules were not corrected to begin with probably resulting in the higer prices were seeing right now. Once things start to balance out the right way things should be good.

Vacation...Did you say vacation? I don't even have the money to go to work...the grocery store...or even really leave my house. What is this world coming to? It is rediculous!!!
