Did high gas prices change your holiday plans?

Did you stay home this Labor Day?

Up until Gustav started blowing into the Gulf of Mexico, gas prices had been receding around most of the US. Still, gas prices are still very high, at least historically-speaking. Did gas prices change your Labor Day vacation plans?

My holiday plans took me through California's Central Coast. Along the way, I was a bit surprised at the proportion of hybrid cars I saw on the road versus non-hybrids. Now, this is an area I seldom frequent, so maybe its the norm in this region, but as I escaped LA traffic, the percentage of hybrids to non-hybrids definitely increased. Could it be that those whom drive more fuel efficient vehicles were less deterred by high gas prices?

It definitely changed my plans. We always camp ove Labor Day weekend and instead of driving to a campground one hour form home, we opted for a State park only 20 minutes away.

I simply cannot wait until I can buy a production PHEV or EV.
