Well, I’m not sure. We were going to do what used to be
Wyandot [Lake], but now we’re thinking we may not do it this
time ... because of gas. My car is easy on [gas], but we
can’t all go in one.

I started cut'n back on little things to save me money. Like
my kids wanted to attend camp and I told them no. I also
said my wife would wait to have surgery cause I got rid of
my health insurance to save money. Normally I'd go to about
8 NASCAR races and instead I'm only going to be able to
attend 5, but we all's got to make cuts to stay a step ahead
of them bill collectors.

We have cut back on driving. We bought a motorcycle so we
can save on gas prices. If someone is heading to the store
we make sure we ask others if they need anything while we
are out.
to help them save. We still buy the foods to
a certain extent but we spend alot more for them. We
normally take mini vacations throughout the year out of
state but this year we will only be seeing things around
Ohio if then.

We is driven just as much or maybe more, but fill in up only

the first place.

We are only using the suv when needed. We have bought a
couple of cheap used vehicles that are much better on gas.
We will also be planting a larger garden. Suppose I'll
learn how to can. Also looks like we'll be taking advantage
of our hunting grounds this year. Oh and our hopes for a
family vacation at the beach went when Skybus shut. This
summer will be full of bonfires, star gazing, and s'mores.

HI, I have cut back by wearing my tight jean shorts from the
1980's rather than wearing kahki shorts like most people. I
am a neck and also wear my old wife beaters rather than
buying new ones this summer.

I'll continue to put gas in my car and not complain because
we have to get gas to make money and spend money and we will
continue to pay for gas and gripe. We griped at 2.50 a gal
and then at 3 a gal and continued to fill up and now that it
is almost 4 gal people are still filling up and still
complaining and nothing is changing. I am getting married
and going on a honeymoon and driving miles upon miles I will
not let something that wont change weather I do it or not
stop me from having the best summer. Those of you buying
motor cycles the investment will probably pay off for doing
that by the time gas is irrelevant. Just my two cents (which
some people probably think i should have kept to my self)

Not really. But we have always been frugal, so we have a
nest egg set aside that we take from and add to quite often.
Our plans are not going to change though.

Will not be doing much traveling outside Ohio. Planning on
doing a lot of camping at our State Parks instead. Also
looking into purchasing a scooter or small motorcycle to
help ease the cost of fuel along with getting a part time
job.

We are going to do things here in OH (which is not much)
instead of taking our normal out of state trip. It will save
gas and hotel expenses.

Consider this for one of those one day trips. Go and see
the Piatt Castles, Log cabin and then go down the road to
the Ohio Caverns. This takes a day if you leave around 8.

Remember when a buffalo nickel would get you a cheap date
and a cone of blister nuts, that’s how I save money,
reminiscing about the past is free entertainment for the
summer, try that kids instate of your ball games and city
pool swimming!

Free activities, Art museum, gardening, hoping not to have
to starve the kids since the cost of food and gas have gone
up. Camping in the back yard so I don't have to use
electricity in the house since I can't afford that bill
either. I plan to have summer of living Amish with the kids.

I have already done something. I traded my 1998 Ford
Windstar in for a 2007 Chevy Aveo. The van needed a lot of
work and used a lot of gas. I drive 16 miles each way to
work. The Aveo will get 34 mpg.

I am currently looking at bikes and checking routes to be
able to get my kids to the sitter and me to work on time by
riding a bicycle. Not only will it save money on gas but it
will help me lose weight also.
