As gas prices have shot up over the past year, many have been forced to cope with the severe impact that fuel prices have on everything we do. The impact on summer travel plans has been significant and far-reaching. Not only will people taking summer road trips have to spend more at the pump, but they will also have to cough up more cash for just about everything they purchase on the road, and at their final destination.
The impact this has had on people is all across the board. In some cases it has had a minimal effect, in other cases families have simply had to cancel their plans altogether. Unfortunately, there is not a whole lot that people are able to do about the situation.
I would be interested to know how everyone else is dealing with this. Are you and your families just staying home, or are you trying to cut costs in an effort to make a summer vacation work? Or, is there just a lot of media hype around how much people are struggling, and you aren’t really feeling the push of gas prices in relation to your plans this summer?
