This was designed to force people to stay home or local to their homes, after all that is the grans scheme of the democratic socialist party. There was zero reason for the prices to go up this high while we were self sufficient before. In addition, to back up what I said, look at the food processing plants being destroyed, the poultry industry is being destroyed, Farmers paid double by the USDA to NOT farm last season (before the processing plants were attacked and destroyed) and on top of that Payola scheme with the farmers (bribing them to not grow) they were then told to oil their fields? This makes it impossible to grow anything edible for a very long time. Destroyed our education system and rewriting history in our history books before our very eyes.

Fuel costs are killing America. This a planned attack on us all forcing us to adopt the new green deal which is a farce. America can not go all electric. The grid can not support it. Ask yourself how do they generate electricity. It’s mostly coal or gas. Use your brain people. It’s all a scam.

Gas prices have not affected my vacation plans, as my car gets excellent highway mileage, but I try to combine day-to-day short trips for errands, as they are less cost-effective.

Retired since 2018. Things were going fairly well until the “Plan-demic” set in.
The corrupt government officials, phoney Pharma, the corrupt WHO and globalists such as Gates, have ruined the world!! The main things that hamper my travel are unconstitutional mandates and the failure to recognize natural acquired immunity! Greed, corruption and fear have gotten control off much of the populus and we must break free from this!!!

We are retired and fortunate enough to be able to afford some travel. We have already taken some great trips this year and will do others… HOWEVER, there are some major changes and considerations because of the economy, crime and state of world affairs are so uncertain right now. So we will not be leaving the country, not going anywhere requiring air travel and avoiding most of the major cities with issues of crime, drugs and homelessness. Any planning or bookings for hotels or rentals will need to have flexible cancellation policies.
Not how we wanted to spend our retirement…

I voted Other: I was never in the upper class, never financially well-to-do. Do to medical bills I could never quite keep up. I felt like I was getting caught up during Trumps first 3 years then the China virus came and Trump caved in to the lefties and let them run the destruction of everything that Trump had done.

Who has the cash or a reliable car to travel? I do not. I haven’t been on a vacation in 20 years. A vacation is not going home to visit family.

Why does everyone assume that the entire population of the US mobilizes each summer and takes a vacation? I do not and have never considered summertime a time to travel. As a child growing up in the US and as an adult raising a family, I don’t think I/we missed anything summer has to offer by not traveling and staying home. Try it sometime.

Tired of the push for all-electric vehicles. Hybrids give us a 50mpg average over three years, 650 mile range, and no plug-in infrastructure. EVs are a money grab for cronies.

The thing that bothers me the most about all of this is the reality that Electric Vehicles are not all that good for the planet in the long run.

  1. The batteries are toxic time bombs that take a huge amount of energy to be recycled, if they actually are recycled.
  2. The batteries lose energy just like any other battery does. So if you don’t use the charge right away, at least 20% of the charge is lost. Almost 75 percent is lost if you let it sit for a couple of weeks in cold weather.
  3. The energy used is only as planet friendly as the source.
  4. The resources used to make these vehicles could be used in much better ways.
  5. Hydrogen would be a much superior energy solution, but alas, it isn’t as profitable to the greedy globalists who are pushing the battery manufacturing.

Joe it’s fault for the gas prices for closing the pipeline. Make us even more dependent on other people like Russia and meddle east. Russia war is causing the rise in prices.

ADDED REVENUE SHOULD BE ACHIEVED BY TAXING ELECTRIC VEHICLES. IT’S CALLED A ROAD TAX. TAX BY THE MILES TRAVELED AND BY THE SIZE AND WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLE.

Proposed 28th Amendment to the United States Constitution:
“Congress shall make no law that applies to the citizens of the United States that does not apply equally to the Senators and Representatives; and, Congress shall make no law that applies to the Senators and Representatives that does not apply equally to the citizens of the United States”. Congress must pay for their own transportation and security. THAT WAY, WHAT THEY LEGISLATE, AFFECTS THEM TOO. AND THEIR CHILDREN MUST ATTEND THE SAME PUBLIC SCHOOLS THEY LEGISLATE. NO MORE PRIVATE SCHOOLS FOR THE RICH POLITICAL ELITE.

    Each person contact a minimum of twenty people on their email address list, in turn ask each of those to
do likewise.

Definitely planning my shopping trips carefully, reading the food ads carefully as well. I just don’t go out two days in a row. Good thing I am old enough to know lots of ways to conserve. Don’t know yet if we’ll have to sell a car. One of my neighbors could not pay her rent and moved in move with her kids into her Mother’s home. So people ARE feeling the squeeze. All because the cretins in the White House have no clue what they are doing. Their inability to run the country on any level is really scary.

Vacation? You must be kidding. I already conserve to an extreme. Dr visits are scheduled on same days if possible. Grocery shopping is planned to cover 3 stores in an order of farthest to closest to home. Gas is purchased before the tank is 1/2 full or 1/2 empty…it just doesnt seem to hurt the pocket as bad unless I wait til its practically empty. Even with the current admin asking congress to drop the federal tax for the next 3 months, that doesnt much help the fact that gas is still at an unbelievable high. And no, we wont be taking a vaca this year 🙁

We saw this coming in January, 2021 and traded our car that required premium and bought a car that uses regular. It turned out to be a great decision, and actually got a nicer car, for less money.
I’m in agreement with Jack, FJB and not only the morons who voted for him, but all the crooks who cheated for him.

Yes, we are changing our travel plans this year. The economic turn down that started in January of 2020 has stayed in the red and by all indicators will contine effecting most people’s budgets through the end on 2022. If the November midterm elections don’t secure a Republican majority in both the House and Senate, the U.S. most likely will enter into a solid ression, until the 2024 Presidential election. So, cost cutting and savings at this time is much more important than any vacation plans this year.

WHAT VACATION? I watch everyone come up to my touristy town and gateway to Rocky Mountain national Park, Estes Park, Colorado And I simply shake my head. Where has all this wealth come from, TOO many credit cards in use, Too many people just don’t give a darn they just want to escape from reality! Well I can’t escape the reality because I have to eat and put fuel in my car! God bless them all in their debt! In reality,I really worry about all of them, their life journey, their inability to realize that they need to “tighten the belt!” It just ain’t getting better kids!

We’re not going anywhere long distance this summer. All are errands or shopping will be organized and condensed for maximum fuel savings. Going to weekly Mass or more is not negotiable and a must do. Jesus is our King and will always be our number one priority. Dining out no matter how small is cancelled. We are stocking up on ammo, paper products and non-perishable foods. My faith in our government has never been stellar and now there is no faith in D.C., democrats and republicans. The political elite do not care about the daily issues we are facing. We need to start from the beginning to re-establish our lost constitutional republic.

Our vacation is actually helping support family for a week so – we will not be doing any “vacation-type” things while there. Retirement isn’t what we thought it would be! All Biden’s fault no matter who he tries to blame.

I haven’t had a vacation since 2014. I work full time but my husband, who is unable to work, and I live from paycheck to paycheck. We have 3 vehicles, a 2000 motorcycle that i bought just to go to and from work in 2008 to save on gas, a 2001 truck and a 2008 taurus all paid for of course. No savings. I have no plans to do anything but scrape by. The economy is killing us.

As the current administration attempts to force us to buy electric cars without the infrastructure in place and causing inflation partially from overspending by giving Ukraine money and probably getting a kickback I for one can’t wait until November.
