I guess there's not  a way to post a poll here so I'll just pose it as an open ended question. 
 
With the cost of fuel/hotels/rental cars being exceptionally high this year, will you change your travel plans or travel less this summer?
 
Bonus: It would be interesting to hear your reason why.

Nope, I have a hybrid so I get great gas milage but even if I didn't, I would still be planning a summer vacation. With things getting back to normal sometimes things are just worth spending money on like a vacation. What it might do is instead of nice places to eat on the trip I probably would go to like a local deli for a sandwich for lunch to make up for the cost in gas then for dinner have something nice. 

Nope

We have decided to cancel our vacation this year

We just finished a total 1200 mile road trip, recently.  I work from home and her commute to work is only five miles...so we do keep mileage pretty low.

Since my wife and I are retired, most of the driving we do is local.  Not to many miles driven and no vacation plans anyway.

I just got back from a 5 day vacation. Cost in fuel pulling a camper was around $300 in fuel. Not bad from Savannah to Daytona. Do plan on another short vacation next month. Why does fuel cost stop you from lifetime memories? It's only money. Save up or do without to make those memories. Just my thoughts.

Tbh, I’m glad about how I’ve spent this summer. I did travel less this year, but I’m sure the people surrounding you make your life. I mean, it’s mostly not about the place you’re heading to but about all the people surrounding you during your trip. I think that’s the key to a happy life. Actually, I’ve already visited all the countries I’ve ever wanted to visit, so this summer I had to pick a random country from this list So, we (my wife and I) went to Madrid. A lovely city to visit. I think it’s one of the brightest cities I’ve ever been to. Have you ever been to Madrid or Spain in general?

It's definitely been a tough year for travel costs, that's for sure! I think a lot of people are going to be cutting back on their travel plans or opting for cheaper alternatives. Personally, I'm planning on doing a bit of both. I'm going to be cutting back on the number of trips I take overall, but when I do travel, I'm going to try to be a bit more strategic about it. I'll be looking for ways to save money on transportation and lodging, whether that means taking advantage of discounts and deals or just being more mindful about where I spend my money. I already found some accessible tourist routes for my Helsinki trip at . You could also find there some free options for your holiday.

For me I can say I didn’t really change my driving habits but as said above my car is a hybrid so it hasn’t taken a huge bite out of my wallet. I definitely think it is going to play a major role though in what cars sell for the next few years.

As for a trip it depends on how far you are planning to drive but if it was a day drive the added cost is probably in the neighborhood of going out to dinner for one person so not that bad really. Not to say I would be doing that daily but I wouldn’t cancel a vacation or not see family occasionally because of it.

I drove like normal, but I drive a Kia, i already get 36/highway and 27 city as long as i don't put my foot into it. I will say because of rising gas costs my car actually appreciated, it went from being worth 1000, to now being worth 1200 lol

I also say my hybrid appreciate in value since gas prices increased. Probably anyone with a used hybrid trying to sell it is going to find more interest in it than people trying to sell a a car with poor miles per gallon.

This green new America is awesome.
