I’m actually bucking the trend here! I can’t drive less because I’m a mom and I have drive my daughters all over the place throughout the day and do errands for them. I’m in the car more now than when I was commuting to seminary! But since we’re all on a diet, we’re eating less. No more ice cream, chocolate, pies and cheesecake. You save a lot of money when you cut out the junk food:

As prices at gasoline pumps and grocery stores rise U.S. consumers say they are driving less but they can’t cut down on eating, a new poll found.
Nearly half of respondents to a Reuters/Zogby poll of likely voters in the presidential election later this year said they are driving less to compensate for record U.S. gasoline prices, which hit a record average of $3.80 per gallon on Tuesday according to travel club AAA.
But only about 8 percent of the 1076 respondents in the national poll said they were eating less generally to cope with rising food prices, the poll said.
“People have more control over gasoline. they are driving less and driving smarter,” pollster John Zogby said by telephone.
