It really doesn't affect me. Currently gas is around $3.70. My ford Ranger has around a 17 gallon tank, if gas was $3 a gallon that would be $51. No its at $3.70 which is around $63. Its only a $12 difference and has no impact on my wallet. I still drive the same and will continue to through the summer even if it gets over $4 a gallon. But this is just me. I will say gasoline prices will cause a gap between the upper-middle class and the poor, the truth is paying 12 more bucks at the pump is no big deal to many, but for others it is bankrupting them. I'm just lucky i guess, but there needs to be some sort of government help on this issue (it hurts me to have to want government as a solution [:@]).

3.50 here in Virginia. Fortunately I hunt right at home, but it will make a big difference in the number of times I'm able to travel home from school in order to hunt.

Maybe if McCain is elected he'll cut the gas tax briefly (yikes, what an awful awful idea[&:])

Gas Prices

Well it'll definitely affect me as the price per liter is 130 x4 equals $5.20 a gallon,Dang glad I bought 2 game camera's,they'll take the burden of driving the 20 miles 3 times a week to scout ans free up my time for family time.

It's 3.50+ per gallon at most stations for me... Last year it didn't affect me that much, I did save a couple of hundred bucks before hunting season, so I had some 'extra' gas money to use during hunting season.

Will try to do the same this year, but it will probably affect how I hunt some. Instead of heading out for 2 and 3 hour hunts some days, I may cut down on the number of trips and just hunt longer...
