I'll tell ya Mig, I am recently taking a little extra notice myself. I use to get in my car during my lunch hour (since I don't live close enough to go home anymore) and go shopping or browsing thru a very nearby mini mall. Now...I'll park my car in a nearby grocery store lot and/or take a short walk to that same store to pick up an orange juice or something. I am definitely making a conscious effort NOT to waste too much gas.
