Have gas prices changed what you'll do this holiday weekend? Asked at Farmers Market.

They really haven't changed what we do on the weekend although they have changed what we do for vacation. It might affect us more now that we've just moved from Utah and a gallon of gasoline is 60cents more here.

Not really. We like to walk a lot and do stuff outside, so we don't really drive. If we do, it's just to travel to visit family, which we'll do regardless. We cringe when we are at the pump.

They have affected our plans in that we try to plan our trips a little better. We rely on our cars so much. I think we'll just keep paying.

Yes, I don't go anywhere. I just stay in town. It's costing me $40 to fill up my car. I don't like the gas prices, and I don't know the real reason the prices have gone up so much.

They really haven't affected us yet because we usually stay close to home. It's frustrating when we do venture out and see that everywhere away from the Bay Area has a cheaper price. We were in Big Sur, in the middle of nowhere, and the prices were cheaper. -Compiled by Sandy Christman
