Did you conquer your addition to oil when gas hit $4 per gallon?

Question

I sure did. I find that I am paying a lot less on gas than I did before, because now I only drive when it is absolutely necessary.

Answer 1

well my parents pay for it lol i live in cali. so it's like 4.60 or somthing:(

Answer 2

OK

FIRST OFF JO YOU DRIVING LESS IN NO WAY CUTS YOUR "ADDICTION TO OIL"

It is nearly impossible to cut an "addiction" to oil, as virtually everything in the modern world depends on it.

EVERYTHING-FROM FOOD(growing and distributing), CLOTHING, MEDICINE,PLASTICS,ENERGY,MACHINERY, COMMUNICATIONS, ETC.,ETC.,ETC....

In order to completely conquer your "addiction"(what a foolish word to use!!) you would have to be completely self-sustaining and use nothing or consume nothing which has been touch by oil refinery.

GOOD LUCK!- PS WRITE ME A LETTER FROM YOUR WOODLAND PARADISE-OH YEAH-YOUR GONNA NEED A PENCIL OR PEN AND PAPER!!-ALL PRODUCTS OF OIL USE!!!- DON'T WORRY I'LL READ YOUR ROCK SCRIBBLING.

Answer 3

I drive less and bought a Corolla.

Answer 4

I wish!  But when you live in the middle of no where and your own town doesn't even have a grocery store....  no.  No I haven't.

Answer 5

Yes, at 3.60 a gallon.  Bought a hybrid and now spend about 80$ a month in gas.

Answer 6

I conquered my addiction to oil when I became disabled.  However, I gotta say, gas prices really interfered in finding new relationships.  It's hard to go out when you have to plan your gas consumption.

Answer 7

No but I never really drive far.

Answer 8

I've stopped driving, now I take a city bus. It's free, because I'm a student. Besides taking the bus, I also keep my lights off in the daytime, keep my thermostat on 78, and carpool to the grocery store.

Answer 9

I do not know anybody that has not curtailed their driving.  Think about it.  Most people just drive around doing stuff now we plan and think when we drive.  I know both rich and poor people that have changed their habits.  This will help.  It has to help.

Answer 10

I'm going to the Target by my work now because it's 5 miles closer than if I drive from home and I'm scheduling my errands daily based on which stores are closer.  Don't know about conquering my additiction - that's only coming when my car doesn't use gas any more - but I sure am paying more attention!
