I also spend over $100 a week on gas driving my friendly taxi :) Just be happy you don't have to spend $8/gallon like our European friends.

Now time is another issue. The IndyGo service definitely needs to be improved. I'm glad I live 3 miles from my work. I can take the bus or ride my bike with no issue. I put gas in my car maybe once every month or two. I'm so glad to not be dependent on the gasoline.

First, I'd have to drive five miles to park my car in a public retail lot, hoping it would still be there 9 hours later. Then I'd ride the bus for 45 minutes before reaching my destination, then walk 3 blocks to my office. This inconvenience would take twice as much time and save ZERO dollars. Sorry IndyGo, not today.

I was worried that prices would be at 3.50 this morning, but it looks like people were just gassing up for the week. Anyone noticed a ton more abandoned cars on the side of the road? Methinks folks are running out of gas. Pray that Indy improves the public transportation situation and maybe... just maybe adds bike lanes and more sidewalks one day.

Having a car that's getting 11 miles to the gallon, with a 22 gallon tank. I'm not going to far without having to fill up every other day. Not to mention with the economy predicted to only go down from here, you'd think that someone would say, let's drop some prices and promote spending to get us back up to where we were.

(Some of us can hope can't we?).

I'll keep riding the bus to work. Mon, 10 Mar 2008 10:14:39 -0400 http://www.indy.com/posts/5789#comment_17048 http://www.indy.com/posts/5789#comment_17048 doglady I second that! It cuts into everything...we have too many cars, counting kid cars...we go to the gas station at least 3x a week!
