I can’t imagine a $1 per gallon increase cancels trips/vacations by car. What’s that amount to ?...maybe an extra $100 overall ? (unless its in California)

Only idiots are falling for this hyped bunk

A planned vacation? No. But it will certainly cancel the day trips.

Went on a road trip in out V-10 Excursion Saturday.

Per passenger mile it gets about the same fuel economy as a Prius.

Unfortunately, most people in this country work paycheck to paycheck and don’t have an extra hundred dollars laying around. Luckily everybody on this site does so we’re good. But we’re a small percentage of the population.

Yep. Sleep in a cheaper motel instead of a hotel.

Buy sandwich food instead of restaurants.
