    Many people may be driving less because of high gasoline prices But transportation officials worry that less demand for gasoline will mean shortages of money from fuel taxes that support reads.Use of public transportation,though,is up,The American Public Transportation Association savs it increased three percent this year.

    High fuel prices are also affecting air travel.The International Air Transport AssociaLion expects the industry to lose at least two billions dollars this year,mainly because of prices for jet fuei.This week more air,carriers in the United States announced plans to cut flights and jobs and remove older.1ess fuel efficient planes from service Continental Airlines said record―high fuel prices have produced the worst crisis(危机)for the industry since 2001.
