How are you dealing with gas prices?

A co-worker of mine just sold off his truck and now is car-less (but he still has a motorcycle to get around) because of the gas prices. Has anybody else taken drastic measures like that? To me, it seems like I've seen a whole lot more Priuses than usual. Even car ads are now touting gas miliage. Do you think this is just a temporary problem, the start of another oil crisis, or are these prices here to stay?

Personally, I think in a few months, everything will be back to normal.

Nothing changes except I am considering on carpooling with my friends for a trip out of town.

keep revs below 3k. Avoid VTEC at all cost.

A guy I know just sold his WRX in favor of a Civic.

2 times less the horsepower, but 2 times more the mileage......but still.
