According to our recent poll, the rising cost of fuel has caused many families and individuals to restrain from driving habits that we’ve been so accustomed to. Before the fuel cost skyrocketed we wouldn’t think twice about hopping in our car for a 50 or 60-mile trip, perhaps to a zoo or other recreational area for a leisurely Sunday outing with our families.
But by the statements of those who responded to our poll, it appears that these leisurely drives are being limited or in some cases, families are simply staying home more.
