...Perhaps Internet actions speak louder than survey answers. Take the cost of gasoline. Despite gasoline prices reaching an all-time high this month, searches for "gas prices" during September 2005, when gas prices breached the $3/gallon mark, were six times greater than last week when the average gallon of regular gas hit $3.21. But to get at the question of what consumers think about gas prices and how they view the effect on the economy, you have to dig a little deeper. For example, how do soaring pump prices affect our vacation plans? Visits to U.S. travel sites are down...

But once a price threshold is crossed, we become immediately -- although temporarily -- concerned...
...civilian version of an urban assault vehicle. Visitors to the official Hummer site are equally split between men and women, primarily 25-34 (33.3%) earning $60,000 to $100,000 per year (56.0%), and according to search data, not phased at all by gas prices or miles per gallon...
