Over here in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where we have road taxes unlike NJ,
my wife has decided to change her driving habits. Now, she has asked me to
drive the family to Church on Sunday in my 1985 VW Diesel Jetta, instead of
taking the gas powered Plymouth Grand Voyager. My diesel prices have fallen,
while her unleaded price is now $.10 more a gal. It used to be $.20 more a
gal for diesel. I get 43-44 miles per gal, too! Her mileage is not worth
discussing LOL

here in NJ this is a different story. We go where we want/need to go, and
bitch and moan at the pump, as we hand over our credit card. no change in
consumption though. it's life as usual.

> By Susan Page
> USA TODAY
>
> WASHINGTON -- Almost six in 10 Americans will drive less this summer
> because of rising gasoline prices, a USA TODAY/CNN/Gallup Poll has
> found. And nearly half said gas price increases already have caused
> them financial hardship.
>
> In the survey Monday through Wednesday, the public was convinced the
> energy situation was serious. Most favored conservation over
> increasing production.
>
> The poll bolsters the Bush administration's view that the nation
> faces a serious energy problem. But the preference for conservation
> could be a red flag: A White House energy plan to be formally
> unveiled Thursday has been criticized by environmentalists for
> emphasizing exploration over conservation.
>
> ''We assume significantly increased conservation going forward,''
> Vice President Cheney, who heads an energy task force, said Thursday
> in an interview with USA TODAY. ''But even with greater efficiencies
> in how we use energy, in order to close the gap between expanded
> demand and supply, we still have to produce more supply.''
>
> President Bush's job approval-disapproval rating was 53%-33%, the
> worst of his young presidency. Three weeks earlier, his job approval
> rating was 62%-29%. The poll of 1,005 adults has a margin of error of
> +/-3 percentage points.
>
> Almost everyone said there is a serious energy problem; 58% called it
> very serious and 36% fairly serious. And 56% said higher gas prices
> were permanent. An overwhelming 83% predicted prices would be even
> higher in a month.
>
> The poll also indicated:
>
> * 91% favor investing in new sources of energy such as solar and
> wind. More than three of four supported mandating more
> energy-efficient appliances and buildings, and a partnership between
> the government and automakers for more fuel-efficient cars.
>
> * Bush's plan to explore in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in
> Alaska was the only measure that drew majority opposition, 57%-38%.
