Gas prices have fallen back to more reasonable levels from the $4-plus per gallon we had been seeing just a few months ago. Has this made a difference in your gas-buying habits? Take our poll, or leave your comments below. (Question courtesy of gasbuddy.com)

Was looking for a Ford Aerostar on your classified ad's and there is no listing for that vehicle. Not certain of reason?
Thank you in advance..........Kenny Silverado

I plan my trips carefully so as to conserve fuel, we know it is going back up soon.

Because I am self employed I can't limit my gas useage. Don't get me wrong, it is much more comfortable now to fill up, but I use my car for work and couldn't say 'no' to clients because the gas prices were high. I will say that I did a lot fewer weekend get-a-ways and not-local social events due to the gas prices though.

My dad never filled up the tank. All the running-on-fumes, "are we gonna make it?" drama severely traumatized me. Isn't it more efficient to just fill it up, anyways?

Leisure driving is history, but I've got to get to work.

I do try to be more thoughtful when I need to do shopping, plan to get to several places close together on one trip. My Dad always said you could get 15 miles on fumes.

I try to plan out my trips so they are most efficient, just like my mom taught me too. I do it out of habit now.

i've stopped driving to work and only walk now, so i've rarely had to fill my tank since the price of gas has fallen. what the gas prices really have affected in my life is that i get way more of those orange abandoned stickers on my windshield now.
