Restaurant Owners Beware

Drivers, reeling from the high price of gas, save money by eating out less.

 

Woodbury, New York – May 3, 2006 – To offset the high cost of gas, over half of Americans (54%) report they will eat out less frequently. Even the affluent, those earning $100,000 or more, are affected with 31% reporting they will be eating out less often.

The research also found other likely changes in behavior Americans will make include:

           Percent Likely to

           Do as a result of

           High Cost of Gas

          Running errands close to home                          71%

          Shopping closer to home                                  68%

Shopping less frequently                                   59%

          Shopping online more                                       55%

          Taking shorter trips                                          49%

          Using the car less frequently for vacations           46%

Although drivers indicate they are likely to use their cars less for shopping and eating out, the use of the automobiles for commuting to work is not likely to change.

The research was conducted in February and March 2006 and surveyed over 5,800 drivers across the United States. The results have a margin of error of +/- 1.3%
