Will the High Price of Gas Deter RV Travel?

RVTravel.com has posed the question: $4 a gallon gas may be coming. How would that affect your RVing?
With over 3800 responses, approximately 23% stated that higher gas prices will have no effect on RV travel. According to RVTravel.com, their poll results are the opposite of the findings from the Recreation Vehicle Industry Association (RVIA). The recent RVIA press release states that RV travel will increase this spring and summer.
Last April, we discussed the high gas prices on the That’s Camping forum, and even though we only had 13 poll votes, 70% stated that they would camp about the same.
Personally, our camping plans are substantially less this year, but it was not due to the hike in gas prices. I guess it will be a mixed blessing; we have so much to do around the new house, and keeping close to home will ultimately save us money. But truthfully, if circumstances were different, our plans would probably be the same as any other year.
So what are your thoughts? Whether you are a seasonal or transient camper, will your travel plans change due to the high gas prices? Please post your comments here, or (even better) participate in this years forum poll.
