Are you planning any road trips with family or friends you normally wouldn't? Thinking about different vehicles than you normally do?
-
Nope. I know the low prices are temporary in the scheme of things and habits stick around for a long time. So, no change to our vehicle use as a result of lower prices.
-
No, but I'm hoping to benefit from other people changing their habits.
I'm hoping small efficient cars are a bit cheaper to buy due to slightly lower demand :)
Although arguably, looking to buy a car in general is a change in habits from not having one, but that isn't caused by fuel prices :)

I can't say that it changes my habits. It does, however, make me cringe less whenever we take a weekend trip to see family or something.
-
No changes here. We are planning a trip to California for Christmas by car so we are pleased it won't cost as much but the trip was planned before the price drop. It's sure a nice bonus. As along as it lasts.
-
No, but I don't enjoy driving anyways, plus I'm in Minnesota, so if it snows, I would prefer to not be on the road...there are many unsafe drivers that I need to look out for.
-
I definitely wouldn't change anything as big as car choice; the prices will likely continue to fluctuate. I'm happy about the lower prices, but I don't think we'll add any driving, just be glad to get to do the holiday travel we have to do anyway for a little less.

Nope. They just make me sad that there's less incentive to others to be less wasteful.
