What many people do on-line, is wishful thinking.

You might not ought to put a lot of stock in those numbers.

When the dollars get calculated, those visits often simply get canceled.

I'm in doubt whether this article is true. Given the high prices, I would expect fewer people on the roads. That is unless someone else pays for your gas that is.

My parents needed me to come over to their home (70 miles away one-way) to help with some yard work. They paid me for my gas, so I went anyway over the holiday weekend.

My wife's commute home from work is normally a 20min trip. The friday evening before Memorial Day traditionally turns it into an hour long ordeal. Not this year, she got home at her usual time...coincidence?

I was on the road this weekend -- it cost me $200 in gas alone for a 2-day trip. It was outrageous. I also believed the roads would be busy being Memorial weekend - opposite was true. I was surprised at how few cars were on the interstate. I've used my spare $$ on gas cutting into my grocery money for the week.

Two things:
1. Motels are booked during travel by the "more" affluent population that high gas prices do not have as much effect on. (did the author do any real research and check mean income of those checking in at motels or did he just sit at his desk)
2. With air travel being the mess that it is, do you wonder why people are driving more? And again, if you can afford to fly for a 3 day weekend, you most likely can afford a motel while driving.

Analytic trend is probably correct. Also, the number of people using the internet to calculate costs, estimate savings between alternatives, and stay within a budget has certainly expanded along with the much greater fuel and transportation expenditures as a percentage of total spent - compared with even one year ago.

I find it interesting that when the Arabs raise the price of their crude oil our American Oil Companies raise their price to match the Arabs? This on oil in the United States where they have been getting tax credits for years.

Now i know the Arabs could care less about our economy but how can Americans inflect such hardships on Americans. Five Oil Companies are distroying our economy yet the government does nothing about it? Can you imagine if the Arabs raised their price double? Today the oil companies can't hide the huge profits they are making. They say they only make ten cents a gallon - who for one second believes that? We have more oil here than all the Arab countries together - yet all you hear are lies

Some things to think about: (1) We are not dependent on foriegn oil never have been. (2) Five oil companies are distroying the American way of life and the Government has decided to allow it. (3) The democrats have said nothing and it's an election year, one has to ask why not? (4) why do our oil companies sell oil 20% over seas if we don't have enough here? (5) We are looking for alternative fuel is the big laugh, we all ready have it, but we will not see it for 12 to 20 years. Solar - wind - corn are all jokes. (6) we are all being robbed in broad daylight by our own oil companies and the government.

when is enough, enough? i know things aren't going to happen overnight, but why can't they? let's use our fine resources right here in the usa, and then worry about where it's going to come from later on. i feel by that time, we will have many alternatives as they are already being studied and put to the test. we need some relief!!!!!!!

Just a tip I stumbled on yesterday. If you book a 3 day hotel stay through expedia, you can get a $50 gas card. check it out if you're planning on travelling. I had a reservation for the end of june - cancelled it and rebooked (at a lower price) - and saved $50!
