I use 1 gallon of gas for my round-trip commute to work. If gas reaches $20 per gallon I’ll consider switching to the train.

That’s one way to bring down the price if enough people start doing that. Airline fares keep rising many will stop traveling,etc.

If you’re that close, you should try commuting on a bicycle.

I went from 40 gallons a week to 3. I got lucky.

I use 1/4 gallon. If gas goes up to 20 dollars a gallon I will still ride my motorcycle to work, and laugh my head off at all those suckers on the train as I, and other bikers, have the road to ourselves.....yeeeehawwwwwwwwwwwwww!

I put $75 in the tank this morning. At the end of the day I had a little over 1/8 of a tank.

Tomorrow it won't be so bad since it is Saturday. It will only take $15 to fill the gas can for the lawn mower, weed-whacker and leaf blower.

Despite your $4.00 a day habbit, for many the gas prices are a serious problem.

And unless you are completely insulated from the economy, you will feel the effects of these prices in many ways other than what it costs you to get to and from work.
