Have higher gas prices changed your life?

I am still trying to get over the shock of gas being $3.15 in Snellville.
They say it might go over $4 a gallon by April.

Last week, my tank was getting really low...I kept holding out for the gas price to go down a bit, but it didn't...so I finally had to bite the bullet and gas up. I had just put my debit card through and was about to squeeze the trigger of the gas pump, when the screen went blank. The gas station lost power. This was a lesson to me to not let the gas tank get that low. If we have a bad weather situation and the area loses power, you can forget about being able to get gasoline, so make sure you have gas in your car.

I am trying harder to combine trips whenever possible, and when I can, I drive the car that gets better gas mileage. I do have an SUV....no guilt trips, please....I didn't seek out an SUV, it just happened that way. It's old and it's not perfect, but at least it's paid in full. I don't know what I'd do if I had a car payment to make and buy gas....I guess I could pay for the car, but I'd have to just admire it in the driveway!

Reminder, you can check out Snellville Gas Prices on this page....I also have it linked on the right navigation bar of this blog for your convenience.
