Question

How will high gas prices affect your summer vacation or travel plans?

Answer 1

Won't affect mine.  I'm doing a roadtrip from Southern ontario to Cleveland, Canton, Washington DC, Philly and back home.  Makes no difference to me, I'll just save a little bit more before I go.

Answer 2

We are taking a short trip vs. a long flight due to increased airfare which is exacerbated by increased fuel costs.  We also scored a $50 gas card by using Expedia which helped.  Here is a link to the Expedia promo:

Answer 3

It won't - I already have tickets and reservations for the whole trip and going back to the US to visit family is worth the extra expense. I won't need a car for the part of the trip here in Europe. Actually, the gas prices there are still less than half the cost here in Italy.

Answer 4

It will affect us greatly. According to the media, gas prices are going to be 5 dollars by the end of summer. Therefore we must learn to economize and save. For example, walk to certain close locations instead of drivng, along with encouraging my family and friends to do the same or you can take the bus or train.  However there are other alternatives than buying a hydro-car, I happen to have done some research on the topic and found where this guy Oliver South convereted his BMW to water gas fuel. He has a video that shows step by step how anyone can do this. There is also a review website that I found in my research that covered  a few other companies that are doing the same thing.

Answer 5

Absolutely they will. We are planning to stay back and discover all those spots that we have ignored all these years because we had to 'go' somewhere.
