Quoted for truth.
Summertime for my family is usually surrounded with nights at the softball field, weekends at the beach, and sidetrips here and there. This summer, we're going to have to cut back tremendously because of the price of gas and food. This time last summer, it was costing me no more than $60 to fill my SUV. Now it's going to be $80+, and since our 2nd car is too small (Honda Civic) for long car trips, we'll be cutting our traveling in half. $20 more doesn't seem like much, but if we're filling up the truck 4-5 times/month, that's an extra $100, meaning that's $100 less for a long weekend trip.
Hopefully after Memorial Day weekend, the gas starts to steadily come back down a bit before leveling off for the summer.
