  How much has the high price of gas caused you to look up products and services on the Internet prior to purchase and consider ordering products over the Internet?

  • I almost always research products and services, store location/hours, product availability, driving directions, etc before I go out to buy a product, eat out, or use a service.
  • I research products and services over the Internet a lot more now.
  • My use of the Internet as a shopping/consumer resource is about the same.
  • I don’t use the internet as a shopping/consumer resource at all.
