ARGILLITE, Ky. (WSAZ) - What's causing fireworks in many famillies right now is the strain caused by gas prices. For millions, the plans this holiday weekend were scrapped or scaled down.

It's not just families feeling the pinch. Agencies and businesses are adjusting.

Missie Caudill and her family are planning a "stay-cation" this 4th of July holiday. She's not alone. A CNN poll showed 1/3 of people are planning on scaling back or cancelling vacation plans this weekend.

The Griffitts family travelled just 20 miles to stay at Greenbo Lakes newly redone campground. They believe you don't have to travel far to have a good time.

Gas prices even have Kentucky State Police staying closer to home and modifying how they'll patrol this holiday weekend. They'll use checkpoints instead of patrols.

All posts are asked to scale back fuel use by at least 10%. The KSP has as many as a thousand cars on the road every day. Police say no services or call responses will be cut.
