Default Lower gasoline prices

Have you changed your driving habits since gasoline prices have dropped from their record highs during the summer? I still ride my motorcycle to work because it feels good knowing I get 55 MPG in the city. My wife drives the Saturn which gets 32 MPG and our van is only used on the weekend. So, you can say that we are still in conservation mode.

Actually I do find myself driving a little bit more but not srastically...I'm just loving the fact that I can fill my car with $25 and not be breaking my budget for my gas! It's great I can't wait to see if it goes any lower!

Yes, I drive so much less than I used to drive and now that prices are going down I am still not driving like I used to. Which is better in the long run to learn that lesson.

Since I started working out of my home there I usually only go out about twice a week to shop and stuff like that.

I worry that people will go back to their old ways, and that's the worst thing that can happen. People are celebrating that fuel is 2.80 instead of 3.50, etc. Let's get it down and keep going. The real victory will come only if we continue to conserve.

I have a Lincoln Navigator and my wife drives a BMW 5 Series. Both gas guzzlers. We certainly have been driving less. And I have been taking the BMW to work since it is not as insane in gas guzzling as the Navigator is.

Yeah the lowered price rates of gasoline is a very very good news and I hope this price rate is more or less maintained at least for a particular time period.
