In response to record prices of gasoline, 31 percent of Americans say they will alter their plans for this upcoming holiday weekend, according to CNN Money. It was forecasted earlier this week that Americans will reduce their amount of driving during the 4th of July weekend, but the percentage is growing larger in lieu of recent record prices.

This news comes as no surprise … Americans are sick and tired of witnessing the steady price increase. Any necessary steps to reduce the amount of gasoline purchased are necessary and needed at this point.


Source CNN Money:

Many Americans will watch fireworks at home instead of hitting the road this July 4, according to a new poll released Wednesday, as record gasoline prices force people to make major changes in their daily lives.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research poll, 31% of Americans have canceled or shortened their planned holiday weekend vacation because of the recent increase in the price of gas.
