How's Your Gas Problem?

Let’s hear how the people on the street are being hurt by gas prices.

In January, Sen. Reid said “We’ve allowed Exxon’s bottom line to take priority over families struggling at the gas pump and the harmful effects of global warming.” Families struggling at the gas pump…now there’s a mental picture…

But it raises the question, how have gas prices really affected you? Has it altered your lifestyle, or the lifestyle of someone you know? Is it mainly psychlogical, seeing that number going up every day on the way to work, wondering how high it will go?

Put the question another way: it’s likely that if prices hit $3 per gallon again this summer in the US, people all over the country will scale back their travel plans; so how much of this travel-curtailing will be a result of people’s subconscious response to gas price fluctuations, as opposed to sitting down to figure out the cost? Do you believe there is a disconnect between what you feel about gas prices and what it is actually costing you?
