If gasoline prices hit $3.00 a gallon, do you plan on cutting back on your driving?

I pretty much only drive to work and the gym and home....there isnt much I cuould cut back. Maybe start riding my bike to work...that would suck in this heat though

I can't. I live in the country, and I there's no way I can get to 30 miles of work in the city at 8 AM.

Nope. I don't do any more driving than I need as it is. Plus with a Civic, it'll have to be $10 a gallon until my wallet notices the difference.

I've already cut back. I don't usually drive at all during the week (yay for employer-subsidized transit!). On the weekends, I run my errands and that's about it. Spend maybe $5/week or less on gas.

Drive the same, but will definitely shop around more for gas; in reasonable vicinity of course.

I already have... bicycle into work 4-5 days a week, bus in or car pool otherwise. I fill up 1/month now when I used to fill up 2/month

My commute I can't change, 33 miles one way. But for stuff around town I would most certainly use the bike more, and make multiple stops on on trip to conserve.

I've been looking into solar energy too, trying to prepare some for the future.

No, but will optimize my driving to be more fuel efficient, should bump my mpg by 2-3, or from 33 to 35-36.
