Gas prices have affected my family in several of different ways. Obviously, money-wise we're cutting things out of our budget (we don't eat out much anymore, don't go on scenic drives, etc). Also, we carpool more. All of my siblings are really into soccer, and one of my sister refs. So, instead of just driving out there for one sibling's game and then coming back, everyone stays the whole time, so that we're making as few trips as possible.

What I thought was really interesting was on the gas buddy page, California (no surprise there) had the highest prices, but then immediately past the border, gas was 30-40c cheaper in Nevada! Does California have a really high gas tax?

Mrs. Keeler,

I had an exciting, thrilling Memorial Day weekend. I have missed the last few blogs due to the fact that I was having too much fun enjoying the somewhat nice weather! Also, the staff at the FORUM Fishers Branch said that there was no Youth Week when you said on the blog that it was. I found that to be a bit suspicious. Well, gas prices have majorly affected my parents' finances. Now it costs up to $500 JUST FOR GAS for us to take a relaxing
round-trip vacation!!! I checked out the websites you listed, and found it interesting that on some there were actual informative maps that told you where the best prices were.

Kate, congratulations on all your wins! Unfortunately, I didn't comment on your blog.
