Veteran 221 |  Subject: gas pricesSo who knows when this next round of gas increases is going to stop. I filled up last week for 2.36 and not its 2.42. I can't wait till Friday when I have to goto NJ and get some 2.15. What does everyone else do with gas prices. I know I'm getting ready to start biking to work because it is almost cheaper to get a train ticket to work. I only work a 20 minutes drive from home. Its about 10 mi I guess. |

Expert 666 St. Thomas, ON | Subject: RE: gas prices We're in the market for a new vehicle, and I think we are almost completely for sure going with either a hybrid or a diesel. They're more expensive (at least in Canada), but the gas savings will more than make up for it. If I could ride to work, I would in a heartbeat. It's just not an option (I cross an international border every day). |

Expert 1065 Montreal | Subject: RE: gas prices In Montreal right now the price is $1.03 a litre. Which works out to about $3.91 CDN a U.S. gallon which is about $3.25 USD. So it sounds to me like you guys are getting off cheap. I am glad I don't own one of those big SUV's with the 60 litre tanks that needs filling up twice a week.  Gasoline is getting to be almost as expensive as bottled water. |

Expert 1836 Lafayette, CO | Subject: RE: gas prices I think I saw a sign that said $2.21/gal yesterday while I was out running. I haven't filled my pickup since last Friday - boy it's nice being able to bike to work each day... |

molto veloce mama 9311 | Subject: RE: gas prices i don't drive, but my husband does. he has been biking to work as much as possible. of course, now we have a smog warning and people are supposed to avoid heavy activity outside for the next few days (including the day of my next tri. great.). so, he drove today...which is a total catch 22. the pollution is mostly from cars, and then the air is so awful you have to drive? there's something seriously wrong with that. |

Science Nerd 28760 Redwood City, California | Subject: RE: gas prices I drive a diesel - a VW Golf TDI. I have a program in my Palm Pilot that keeps track of my gas mileage and will average all tanks, etc. For the 2 years that I've had my car, I'm getting (on average) 43.98 mpg. It's great. Diesel can be a little more expensive, but it's not so bad when I'm only filling up every 2 weeks. If anyone's considering one, I highly recommend them. The VWs are great! |

Veteran 152 Central Connecticut | Subject: RE: gas prices Ahh a fellow Lawnguylander! I feel your pain, espically since Im out on the east end (cheapest regular was 2.50/gal). Im hitting the bike as well, its not that bad. But on Long island the Bicycle Commuters stick out like a sore thumb, but who cares I guess? Cheers! |
