Are gas prices going up in your area?

They never did get down to that so called "national average" of $1.66 here, but we did get down to $1.73 for a few days. Now we are back up in the $1.93+ range.

Have gas prices affected your driving habits? They sure have us! We were driving more when prices were lower, but we have cut back again. The weather's been really bad, so staying home is just sensible and practical right now. Also, the power company is raising everyone's bill by $11 a month. We've been trying to cut down on our power use too, but the bill just keeps going up no matter what we do.

In the St. Louis area it has been around $1.59. For a while we were enjoying $1.39.

We dipped down to about 1.69 or so - Last I saw it was back up around 1.99

When it was $3+ I drove less. Right now though I think the weather plays more of a roll than gas prices.

We got down to $1.43 for a while as well but it's back up near $2.00 at this point. I don't drive a lot in the first place because my sitter and work are within 2 miles of my apartment. It was definitely nice having the lower prices when I drove home for Christmas though.

It is 1.79 here. It doesn't really slow us down to much. I didn't notice a lot of difference when it was 3.99 either.

Ours got as low as $1.31, but is now up to $1.59. There are places around Houston where it is as high as $1.79, tho. Depends on the part of town you are in.
