I've stopped running the a/c in my car. I live in Dallas.

It saves a bit of gas, and I need to save all I can. My husband doesn't use his a/c, either. He arrives home drenched in sweat, red-faced, burning up.

Driving on the highway, it gets pretty loud when you have to have your windows open, but what else to do?

I combine trips, I don't make any trips I don't have to, we use one car when we can. But gas prices just keep going up. I think when they go down a bit it is just to fool people. Then they go right back up within the week.

And I'm sitting here wondering what the hell people are doing who own Suburbans, Hummers, Navigators, Expeditions, Escalades, etc. I mean, my God, how do they afford the gas? Have they cut out other expenses? Stopped eating as much food? Do they not run their a/c, either?

My husband is thinking of getting rid of the cable to have more money for gas. I don't have to drive as much as he does, he has a bit of a commute every day. If he gets rid of the cable, that will free up enough that he can afford gas more easily.

My question is, what does he cut out when gas goes up further?
