Cost of living

I realize that everyone is suffering from the overwhelming cost of every day living. But one thing that I think that we all can control is the cost of fuel, I can't believe the people who say that I'm going on vacation no matter how much it costs me to go. I wonder how many people have put themselves in financial hardship over going on vacation? I realize that we all have to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, but at the same time if people would cut back on their driving, making unnecessary trips the price of gas would come down, if people aren't buying it the supply that the oil companies have will go up and they will drop the price in order to get rid of their inventory.
