Gas: Where are you cutting back?

Saw a report the other night saying that "gas prices are rapidly becoming the #1 issue in the election."

Perhaps that is true, but the conversation turned to how/where people are making sacrifices/choices due to higher gas prices.

Here are some of mine.
  1. Our kids go to school a few blocks away. We do our best to walk whenever possible.
  2. Definitely doing a better job of consolidating multiple stops into one trip
  3. I've downgraded my coffee from mid-range to basic (hey, it's caffeine that's all I need.)
  4. Eating red meat less often (down to 1x per week used to be 2)
Now, granted some of this may be due to the entrepreneurial effort we are undertaking and not entirely due to gas, but I can definitely say that gas has the most "mindshare" when it comes to inflationary costs.

How about you?
