Many readers responded to our solicitation about whether gas prices were affecting their driving habits with: Yes, they are.

They reported that they are, indeed, trying to save trips and shop closer to home. And more than a few shed some crocodile tears for SUV drivers.

Here’s a sampling of reader feedback:


Enforce speed limit
My family has done several things: drive less, maintain proper tire pressures, drive slower, and combine shopping trips. I drive to work everyday, if the police would enforce the speed limits and not allow people to travel 75 mph, that would save millions of gallons of gas each day. — Karl, New York

Get a motorcycle
I plan to refinance my home to lower the payment, and buy a 250cc motorcycle to drive back and forth to work, instead of my pickup. I have lowered my mileage as much as possible now. — Gary, Tenn.
