We drive Tt's 2003 diesel beetle, which gets excellent mileage. Still, fuel is expensive and we chose to live walking distance from the university, where I attend school and Tt works. We walk nearly everywhere, only drive when we have a lot to carry. I also have a bicycle, but haven't chosen it over walking for a few months.

So, we're lucky. Fuel prices aren't affecting us drastically. We travel less. Tt is less inclined to finish his private pilot's lisence because he realizes it is an expensive hobby, but that does go beyond fuel prices.

I'm sure it will affect us more when we no longer live in a dense city where all of our needs are met within a few short blocks.
