## Resource

Gas prices hit a record high at $4.09 a gallon, forcing millions to slash budgets and rethink daily spending. Over 60% say fuel costs are crippling their ability to afford basics, while 75% are cutting back on dining, travel, and entertainment — and even groceries. Ninety-three percent are hunting for savings, turning to loyalty apps and switching to Costco, as chains scramble with new deals. 7-Eleven’s “Price Lock” feature lets users lock in fuel prices for up to four days — a smart workaround for volatile costs. With drivers more price-sensitive than ever, the battle for the cheapest gas is heating up — and it’s far from over.
