Asking someone for a ride in a car these days can get you cursed out. I put $20.00 in my tank today and I got a little over 5 gallons. That is ridiculous. I am seriously considering parking my car and riding the bus. And if you live in Charlotte NC you know that is an extreme move. Gas hit 3.97 for regular in my neck of the woods. The bus is $1.30. I believe a bus pass for the week is $15.00. I'm Very ,seriously considering it. All I have to do is leave my home 2 hours earlier than I have to be there. Our transit system still is not the best. There are still places the bus does not go. It will get you as close as possible though and you can walk the rest of the way. Imagine that.
Of course that is a problem for me. The other problem would be I hate to wait on anyone. Anything. I want to go when I'm ready to go. So, now I am sacrificing. I am only driving places I NEED to go. No more trips to Wallyworld, just because. I try to get everything I need before I get home, because once I am there, its over. I'm not going anywhere.
The pump read 92.00 when I pulled up. I guess I'm fortunate my tank doesn't take that much to fill up. If that was a fill-up for that person. I guess I could form a car pool. I don't know. Maybe we should have learned from the Amish. How much is a horse and buggy anyway?

I feel you. Right now, it's .10 cents less here for regular unleaded. I swear, I'm about to take a week off, just so I don't have to gas up. I WAS a proud ticket-free leadfoot. Girl I caught myself doing 38 in a 45.
A traffic jam is sure to unnerve somebody.
I'm so feeling you on this. Public transport is simply not an option for me due to where I reside, but I sure wish I could use it. Gas is currently $3.81 for regular. I sure wish I was still living north of where I am now cause I'd damn near never drive. *sigh*
Love!
Drastic situations cause for drastic measures. However, time is money also. Not sure on the bus option.
Sunday, I paid $4.24 a gallon for 91-octane gas.
