Food money paying for gas!

What are you willing to give up in order to keep up with gas prices?

According to Harris Interactive, higher gas prices have caused the majority of Americans to cut back on a range of products and services. The poll, which surveyed 2,184 adults online in mid-May, finds that 51 percent of Americans have limited spending on other items in order to pay for gas.

An even higher pecentage (65) of families earning an annual income of $35,000 or less have had to cut back. To be able to put money in the tank, most Americans have had to sacrifice fuel for their bodies, as groceries, and dining out are the things cut.
