Mine haven't changed a lot yet, but I am thinking twice before hopping in the car.
Do you have a long drive to work?
Note: For driving, a lot of people do not figure in the "fixed" costs of owning a car, so the jump in gas prices seems like a shock. However, when fixed costs are added in, the jump is much less. As an example, let's say it costs $25,000 for a car (cost, maintenance, insurance, etc.) and you drive it 100,000 miles, that is $0.25 per mile right there, before you add the cost of gas.
