DAYTON, Ohio -- Drivers looking for relief from higher gas prices are not getting it so far. Thursday morning Mike Huff, a delivery driver for Priority, told News Center Seven that he's now paying more than a hundred dollars for every stop at the pumps.

He drives a delivery route from Huber Heights all the way south to Lexington, Ky., and back, making several stops along the way. Huff fills up twice a day and said "usually I was putting in fifty dollars a day, then seventy-five and now it's a hundred dollars each time and it just continually goes up but there's no way my paycheck can keep up, that's the problem right there."

Some people are looking to lawmakers for help. Some members of Congress are pushing legislation that would not allow President Bush to put any more oil in the nation's strategic oil reserves. The goal there would be to divert that oil to the open market and hopefully drive down prices.

Other groups are expressing their unhappiness with prices at the pump by planning boycotts of the five major oil companies. The Dayton chapter of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference is planning a protest at the Shell gas station at the corner of West Third Street And Gettysburg Avenue for Noon Thursday. It is part of a series of national rolling boycotts to express unhappiness with prices to oil company executives and elected leaders. National SCLC officials say future boycotts may target Exxon, British Petroleum, Chevron and Phillips 66.

However, while people wait to hear if Congress and other groups can help relieve the pain of higher gas prices, they are doing what they can do to survive the record prices at the pumps.

People all around the region are looking to co-workers and friends to carpool to work or to after-work or after-school activities. Some people have even put the vehicle in the garage and began taking the bus to their destinations.

The rising prices at the pump have also prompted people to trade in their large SUV’s or trucks for smaller, more economical and more fuel-efficient vehicles.

The higher gas prices have some people taking a second look at their summer travel plans.

Some families are trying to decide if it is worth driving to their summer destination or if the cost of flying would be more beneficial.

Most of the people that News Center 7 spoke to said they are not going to let high fuel costs ruin their summer plans.

Heidi Lawson said, “You got to go where you got to go and that doesn’t hold you back.”

Many airlines are also feeling the effects of the rising fuel costs. Many air carriers have raised fares to offset the high prices.
