Ahead of the summer travel season a new AAA survey reveals the impact rising gas prices have on consumers’ lifestyles. The survey shows that nearly a quarter of consumers believe the price at the pump is already too high. State AAA spokesman Nick Jarmuscz says more than 70 percent of consumers say they would make everyday lifestyle or driving habit changes to offset higher prices expected this summer. The survey found younger Americans are more tolerant of higher prices and less likely to change habits compared to consumers 35 and older. AAA projects the national average for a gallon of gasoline will peak near $2.70 cents this summer.
