I'll pay the gas prices, as long as they stay under $4.50 a gallon based on my current thinking now. We'll see. Sure hope it doesn't go near that point, though.<br /><br />I totally remember 17 years ago, back in 1994, seeing a sign for $0.91 gas. Those days are long, long, gone!Squirrelershttp://www.squirrelers.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-92112716146790147372011-01-21T13:41:48.662-05:002011-01-21T13:41:48.662-05:00There is public transport available but only for l...There is public transport available but only for limited locations and it has never provided for anywhere I have commuted to. Living in the UK, petrol is currently £1.28 a liter. That might sound nice but there are 3.78 liters in an American gallon. That is £4.84 a gallon which works out to... $7.74 a gallon! ack!inadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11415415691131681114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-64975541947399758942011-01-21T03:48:55.960-05:002011-01-21T03:48:55.960-05:00The public transport system nearest me, goes nowhe...The public transport system nearest me, goes nowhere near my work, however my petrol for the week is never over $20 and if I,m stuck for a lift Hubby works almost similar hours and very near to my place of work. We did try traveling together for a while, but I kept having to say no to extra hours so I could get my lift home, so it ended up costing me.Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03260642250519868482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-39513438943352755082011-01-20T00:25:30.352-05:002011-01-20T00:25:30.352-05:00P.S.

Now the new bozos took over and all programs suffer including public transportation. We have buses and light rail BART. It can help but, you have to do a great deal of walking and that means you need more food. It will be cheaper for you to drive. Homeless people get on there with germs. I am not trying to be cruel but it is true. There is no a/c at a buss stop.They are late and you could lose your job or be late everywhere. You could get mugged. They pulled a gun on me at a bus stop and got $40 so, you are lucky you are doing good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-22262120456474675392011-01-19T16:23:44.573-05:002011-01-19T16:23:44.573-05:00We have great public transportation in Houston, I ...We have great public transportation in Houston, I use the Metro bus system daily! but it also gets price, I probably spend 100 a month on bus.<br /><br />Not sure why gas is expensive up there, there's a big BP refinery in Toledo... <br /><br />HSHS @ Our Debt Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16131857251377260758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-22953276675058330892011-01-19T11:21:42.867-05:002011-01-19T11:21:42.867-05:00I have terrible public transportation where I live...I have terrible public transportation where I live as well. I would have to drive a good way to the nearest bus stop and then it would take me forever to get anywhere. Plus I work at a hospital that's located in rougher area (read: horribly unsafe) and taking the bus to and from work, sometimes at night, probably isn't the safest thing to do. So I'm trying to add some no-drive days to my weekends and cut out pointless trips after work.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986690214428064148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-366811266822621354.post-58249004807998076142011-01-19T10:40:49.578-05:002011-01-19T10:40:49.578-05:00Nope.
