I have to admit, I have cut down on just going out and driving around the past few months. I try to combine trips as much as possible any more.

Kind of. I drive the Vette sparingly anyway, but I waited a long time to own one, and I am going to enjoy it. I would much rather do without that extra "burrito" or "burger", which I should anyway, 
, and pay for some more gas than let it sit and waste away.

I have not changed my driving habits with my Z per se but in general, I don't make as many runs with the DD and try to consolidate the smaller trips and errands... nothing crazy but change nonetheless.

No changes at all. My '01 is still my DD, I still put just as many miles on over the weekend visiting friends and doing stuff, and still drive out to a local coffee shop a few times a week at night.
Exactly my attitude about it. My car(s) are my escape, even when it's just my commute.

Not really,since I still only drive it primarily on the weekends and I don't go that far.

Wifey and I now car pool a couple of days a week. Besides that everything has stayed the same except the gas prices!

Heck, if anything I try to drive it more....life is for the living. Squeeze the most out of it that you can.

Not really, I've had the car a little more than a month and I had a diesel before that, so paying for premium is some what of a relief for me.

I think I am driving more because I have to search all over town for the cheapest gas! It is like playing the stock market.
