Do gas prices influence your holiday travel plans?
Asked at Massachusetts Street on November 19, 2007
“I would say so. I’m going home first and then riding with my parents to my grandma’s house, because it would be too expensive to drive my car.”
“It hasn’t so far. I spent a ton traveling to the OSU game, and it didn’t stop me. So I don’t think it will affect my plans. I hate spending so much though.”
“No, because my parents pay for my gas. But even if I had to pay for it, I’m going to go where I’m going to go regardless of the cost.”
“Not really, but we sure don’t travel anywhere we don’t need to.”

No, but I may do more of my travelling using astral projection. I can still see the people and places, even if I can't fully interact with them.

I'm having to rent a trailer to carry all the necessary carbon credits.

Well...
Not really, because we purchased our airline tickets months ago. Long before the hike in air travel due to rising fuel costs.

Yes. I cancelled a holiday vacation due to gas prices.

I am unsure of proper fuel saving etiquette. Instead of just crashing the neighbor's thanksgiving dinner... Should I call and ask to be picked up? They killed and dressed the fat turkey this weekend.

oooooooo gootsie, wave at me on camera, m'kay?? i'll be watchin' from home and probably going hoarse screamin' and carryin' on!!!
as for the question...umm, i reckon if ya'd open windows on the ride it would increase the chances that gas won't affect my holiday travel plans.
