How has the price of Premium Unleaded affect your driving?

With the price of premium unleaded gas well over $4.00 per gallon in many parts of the states; how has that affected your driving?

Are you driving more?, less, or about the same?

I know my wife uses the MDX a little less - mostly around town. We use the Honda Pilot for most highway/long distance type driving, and other business stuff. Living in NE PA. we do not have the typical stop 'n' go bumper to traffic you have in the big cities so it really helps. I take the train each morning to NYC in stead of driving, and we try to schedule all of our errands together with out double backing.

See ya

I'm trying not to drive my new red TL as much...but it's really difficult because this is such a fun car! I paid $4.41/gallon the other day at Shell. My friend has been filling up her '07 TL with 89 octane and 91, alternately....

From what I hear, (Acura service tech), you can put the mild grade in, just every 3rd fill up use the premium, and you'll be fine.

Are you serious? Wow, that's the highest I've heard of!

I am still driving about the same amount. I've always filled with Shell's V-Power 91 Octane. I just filled up yesterday at a station that has close to the lowest prices in the Daytona area, and it was around $4.31 if I can remember.

Actually just checked my math and I was low.
