Jen says:

Last I checked, we were around 4$ a gallon here in western PA. We’ve had to raise our pickup/delivery fees as a result.

That would be fees for the business she and her husband operate.  Check out her blog for some photos of Jen’s craftsmanship.

From Miles L. in northern Minnesota, where the price for gas is a little less than most others have been reporting:

The price here in northern Mn. is 3.89/gallon today. It is down a dime since last weekend. I’ve made an effort over the last month to drive slower. I’ve raised my mpg by aprox. 1 1/2-2mpg. It doesn’t really change my schedule, just my attitude. Maybe I need to slow down my life a little anyway. I reduced my speed by aprox. 7 miles per hour to 58 instead of 65.

From Larissa:

Here in Missouri it is 3.83 this weekend, but I bet on the way to church it  will be more tomorrow.

Here’s the changes her family is making because of high gas prices:

We have cut down on a lot of things. Driving farther for visits to friends and family outings. We have also cut our driving speed and  also turn off the car every time we stop. We also try and use less AC as that sucks our gas more then anything. Mostly we have cut out our extra expenditures, instead of getting a pool membership for the fam for the summer, we are now frequenting the public spray parks and pools in a close proximity. That has really helped our budget, doing things for free.

• Candy is paying $4.12/gallon. Candy and her husband have one vehicle running, “a gas guzzling truck with camper,” so here’s what she is doing.

  I am getting my bicycle tuned up in hopes I will use it for work instead. I will have to work hard at getting in shape to ride it all the way to work though, but I have all summer.

• From Denise:

  Down in southeastern PA (Philadelphia) we’ve been sitting at $4.09/gallon. 8 years ago when I graduated from high school gas was $1.50…what a change!

Karen says:

I paid $4.64 a gallon this past weekend for ARCO 87 gasoline (here in Monrovia, CA)——cheapest I could find.

• Dorothy gives us the scoop on the gas prices in Wisconsin during her recent trip there.
• Lisa Nunley says that her family needs

  to get rid of our 15 passenger van. We get maybe 8mpg.

   

  I need 8 seats, so we are thinking about trading in for a Honda Pilot. It gets  22mpg.
