Yes, I am driving less. At home I am fortunate to be able to walk to work, the grocery, library and hardware store. My car sits in the driveway all week until Fri. at 2:50 when it's time to head up to NH (a 200 mile round trip).
In NH, I am very conscious of having to drive 3 miles to the nearest market and gas, 10 miles to the hardware store, and try very hard to combine all errands into one trip. Would I have it any other way? No.
Will we ever see 95 cent gas again? I don't think so. I remember gas prices in the 30 cent range when I started driving...but then we never worried about driving an 8 cylinder monster in those days. We should have though.
