ANOTHER Gas Price Rant

Recommended Posts

It's bad enough that I have to pay $2.86 a gallon for premium (I have a Vette so have to use premium), but our RV only get like 5 miles to the gallon and we're camping this weekend, driving from L.A. to Carpenteria, about 90 miles, so it's gonna cost a lot to get there and back. My husband told me "just relax and enjoy the weekend, don't worry about gas prices". I will try to do that but I am still really upset that gas prices are so high.

Girl, I hear you! I have to say, that I am pretty lucky. I drive an Explorer, but I have not driven it in a long time. I have to start it once a week just to keep the battery, etc. running. I walk 4 miles to the post office and 2 miles to the grocery store rather than drive. My husband and I run other errands together and we carpool to work in his gas-saving Civic. I know not everyone can do this because time doesn't permit.

In addition to the gas I save, I have also lost 6 pounds. B|

I work only a mile from where I live so I could jog or ride my bike to work, but I go to the gym after work which is 10 miles away. Yeah, I could find another gym closer, but I've belonged to the same gym for over 20 years and I get a discount since my husband is on the board of directors (it's a YMCA gym).

Drive anywhere else in the world and you will be thankful for the prices here. We've had our cake and eaten it too for many, many years.



True, but in most of the other places in the world they have Ubah public transit. Where I live (15 miles from home to work) I would have to change buses 5 times on two different transportations systems taking 3 1/2 hours to get there. So instead I drive 30 minutes in traffic instead.
