I drive about the same--which really wasn't a whole lot before gas prices started going crazy. I don't necessarily stop myself from going somewhere a little further out of my way yet, but I do catch myself calculating that it costs say $5 to go across town for a burger occasionally. Never did that before.
I tried being less of a leadfoot for one tank in the IS350. I enjoyed the slightly higher MPGs, but not enough to make it a habit.
My Blazer, on the other hand, continues to get more and more expensive to drive.

i've cut back quite a bit. trying to combine trips, making sure there's a good reason to drive when maybe i could have handled something by phone, simply not going places for fun like i used to. trips to car shows, etc.

I'd say I drive 5% less than usual. Its not that I cant afford the price increases but the principle of getting gouged.
I do carpool more, drive slower, and plan my routes more efficiently. It really has made a noticeable difference in LA traffic. Well maybe a "just" noticeable difference, which is better than getting worse which it has for the past decade I've almost been driving. I see more people in the bus stop and more people carpooling which is a miraculous phenomenon in LA and brings a smile to my face.
