This paper intends to explain the influence on travel and consumption activity by a jump in gasoline price through household questionnaire in Hiroshima city. During April 2008 to August 2008, gasoline price jumped from about 130 yen per liter to 180 ye n per liter. About 25% of household samples indicated to decrease car usage and a half of the rest households saved consumption. This is caused by trip attribution and income. We also calibrate multinomial logit model for car usage and ownership, then predict an influence of a jump in gasoline price.
