The high gas prices just didn't seem to make my daily commute any shorter. Those prices didn't make Home Depot or Handy Hardware pack up and move closer to my home. I don't see anyone rushing out to build a commuter railroad system between my house and everywhere I need to go.

Just how is price supposed to affect the American infrastructure?

At the Fortune 500 company where I've worked for 20+ years, there are many more bicycles in the racks and motorcycles in the cycle lots this year than in previous years.

At any given time, there are more messages posted on the bulletin boards looking to form carpools than I've ever seen.

My family is much more conscientious about consolidating errands than before. I'm sure we're not alone in that regard.

It all causes me to believe some of us are trying to use less gasoline.
