Is that regular or premium? That's about the price of diesel here.

Re: Are you driving less because of gas prices?
Just how do you all drive less? Only time I think about gas prices is when I am at the pump. Otherwise do you all really think I better not spend $2 on that 15 mile drive to the mall or wherever? I mean really in the bigger scope of things I don't see how we could really cut our drives unless we found other ways to get to work or shunned long driving trips. Yeah the prices suck, but shit its Memorial Day coming up and I am still going to drive out to San Diego. I mean should I really stay home because it costs maybe $30 more than it did last year?

I drive my motorcycle much more now, and the worst part it's been unseasonably cold.

Re: Are you driving less because of gas prices?
Once again I ask you how do you save gas? All these silly ideas I hear on TV are so meaningless. Bunch your errands? Who doesn't already do that? There is no easy way to save much and what most might save might amount to $20 a month. Unless your boss suddenly lets you telecommute or you aren't out buying a hybrid there just isn't much you can do.

Re: Are you driving less because of gas prices?
No.
I want gas prices to keep rising. Heck, if it was 100 a gallon, that would be perfect....i'd be able to get from point A to point B without worrying about traffic.

Re: Are you driving less because of gas prices?
I agree with WildBill. There's no way that I can personally cut back on my driving with my schedule. I just pay whatever the price is regardless of cost. This city is too big and there is virtually no public transportation outside of riding a bus.

Insurance isn't required for that little car at Chuck E. Cheese that also takes your picture.

Really? Less smog, less traffic, less traffic accidents, car insurance would be much lower because of less accidents and less hazard, better ozone layer, etc.

You have any idea how much you would be paying for essentials like food and clothing and other everyday commodities if that happened?

90% unemployment, nobody could afford to get to work, hyper-inflation, crime rate would be unreal... it would be worse than the Great Depression.

In most places you'd get your DL suspended, eventually land in jail.

Re: Are you driving less because of gas prices?
Its great for your health, but a 30 minute walk is probably under two miles of driving, ie. about 30 or 40 cents of gas.

You'd need everybody living right near work. Huge cities, and no suburbs.
Not always practical, at all.

Re: Are you driving less because of gas prices?
Don't try living in Nevada. The state keeps tabs on your insurance status and if a car goes uninsured they send out a whopping fine a few months later and require you to prove them wrong to get out of it. I got one of those letters just because my new insurer was 3 days slow at sending out a letter, but then later gave me proof I was never uninsured. And if you don't pay the fine, your car can be impounded.

Maybe if you don't own a thing, but you will eventually get in trouble. Wouldn't you soon be driving an unregistered car, and have no DL ?
