Last time gas encroached on the $4.00 mark people started to get creative. I have heard stories of people over inflating tires, trying to stay on the painted lines for less friction, hitchhiking, ect. ect.
Are you changing your driving habits yet ?

Drive less get netflix?
We will drive less, thinking of getting netflix so we don’t go crazy sitting in the house because we can’t go anywhere or do anything.
If you have netflix do you use it enough to justify the cost?

Exactly. Been doing that since gas skyrocketed a couple years ago and never got out of the habit. Fortunately I live only 3/4 mile from work so most of the time I walk in the winter and ride my bicycle when it's warm.
It sucks going on trips though, especially hauling a 30' fifth wheel and getting 8-9 mpg!

We had netflix for several months and then got rid of it. It was like going thru the cable channels. Lots of movies but nothing that interested us. I will say that we are not big movie people anyway, so that may be part of the problem.
The last time gas went way up we changed our habits, and pretty much have stuck to the new habits ever since.
I fill up once a week, so does my wife, I have 62 miles a day, she has 50. Last weeks fill ups were 50 bucks each, both cars get 24-27 mpg. That is 400 a month in gas, basically to get to work and back. Add that to my health insurance increase, and we are at 928 a month.
So, my $125 dollar 1983 Yamaha Maxim will be coming out pretty fricken soon. LOL. We've also discussed staying at her moms one or two nights a week, if gas gets really out of control, that would put me with a 20 mile drive, and my wife with about a 6 mile drive, or walk.
And before anyone says buy a car with better mpg, both cars are paid for.
