Unless someone is driving around the world twice on vacation it shouldn't change anyone's plans. Especially considering that they'd spend money on gas at home not going on vacation. What, a 12 hour drive, which is a lot these days for those who drive, would be say two tanks of fuel.
$1.00 more and a 20 gallon tank means what, $80 round trip. Oh boy, cancel the family vacation! Oy...
I sure hope they can get that $500 deposit on that $1,200 rental back. And just forget about all those family dinners out for $60 ea. at a cheap place.
It's almost laughable that anyone would even say that they're considering canceling vacation over gas prices but every summer that's what the media does.
"Excuse me mam, with the rising cost of gas prices, will you still be able to go on vacation?"
I'd tell her to get a different job. It's a temporary rise in gas prices, give it a rest honey.
