How far do you commute to work everyday?(GAS PRICES ARE KILLING ME!!)?

Question

I commute 160 miles rountrip and I feel I may have to sell my house if gas prices continue to rise. Is anyone else feeling the pressure at the pump as bad as me?

Answer 1

My commute is only 6 miles round trip. gas here in Michigan is $3.49 a gal.

Answer 2

Don't be so myopic -- gas prices aren't what you should be worrying about -- you should be concerned for the impact you're causing on others.

You need to use mass transportation, move closer or get a new job.  It's that simple.  You need to stop needlessly burning so much fuel every single day, for reasons greater than your own pocket book.

Answer 3

If gas prices are going to keep rising eventually our economy will collapse. We are to interested in profits here in America to start mass producing alternative-fuel cars. It is a shame when a third world country like Brazil has become energy dependent and we still pay outrageous prices at the pump.

I am driving 50 miles a day round trip. I am a little better off than you price wise for the time being.

Answer 4

Count yourself lucky you don't live in Britain - our prices are far higher! I have a long commute (1.5 to 2 hours) but I take public transport. The prices on that have gone up due to fuel costs, though.

Answer 5

My commute is about 5 miles one way. A tank of gas usually lasts me 10-14 days.

Answer 6

i carpool and we all pay alittle of the gas.

Answer 7

yea look for other mean carpool with somone that helps alot  or get a new car if u can maybe a hybrid or better gas mileage

Answer 8

Whoa, that's crazy.  If I were you I'd move right away (unless you can't for family reasons, of course).

My commute is about a mile on a shuttle.

Answer 9

oh gah yea i am thinking of moving on base (i'm in the military) and just riding my bike to work. its insane. it's supposed to be 4 dollars by the end of summer. aghhhh! =[
