Are you cutting back since gas prices are steadily rising?

If so, how? It seems here in the states, gas goes up everyday. And yes, we know that you poor souls in the UK are paying much more than we are so let's not beat that dead horse again, yeah?
Anyway, are you cutting back at all? How?
I've cut my driving down a lot. I try to walk when I can. I've also cut back tremedously on my cigar consumption.
Also, I joined a wholesale grocery store (B.J.'s) and have found that I'm saving a lot of money buying in bulk. I never did this before because I live in a small apartment and don't have a lot of storage space. But it's worth it considering how much money I save.

I'm anxiously awaiting the price of gas to get high enough that it actually thins out the traffic!!

And man... 3/4 ton trucks have come WAY down in price... I may just be in the market for one soon if things keep up!
