Have gas prices affected your Labor Day?

Have gas prices affected what you plan on doing on the 3 day weekend?


I was going to drive down to the Red this weekend, but then I realized that it would cost $170 in gas. :( :(

Yup. Was going to Boone and play on pebbles. Now just going to Knoxville and play there with Hannah. 8)

Still glad I get 26+mi/gal on the highway.

The difference between 2.50 and 3.10 is .60 cents. Not sure how far you all are driving, but to get to boone, that is an extra $20.00 or so. Split two or three ways, it is one less pitcher of 420, or just sack up a bit.

Look for a cheap flight to Louisville and then hitch a ride!

A friend of ours was going to meet us in the Red for the weekend, but decided not too due to the sky rocketing gas prices.

Gas just stinks right now. :cry: It used to cost me $7 in gas to get to the Red, but now that will probably only cover one way! We're going up anyways. Atleast double the gas cost for us is only another $7.

even though it wont cost a whole lot for me - i'm going to try and not buy gas until after the weekend. my truck is half full and my civic was filled about a month ago when i drove it last. am parking the 4wd for a bit though. I jus' feel that if we could buy less gas than usual the demand would drop and so would the market price. so - i probably wont go to the red this weekend as i had planned. i'll be on my bicycle a good bit for the next few days.

It's not affecting my trip, but I am reconsidering the car I was hoping to buy here shortly.

Whether there will be planty of gas to buy seems is a concern, although I don't know if that's something that may be a problem or not.
