With the gasoline prices skyrocketing does it really make to drive to work?

Question

I mean if you're spending all your money on gasoline then you won't any money left so when you think about it, it's no different from not earning money.

This is just an sardonic irony conclusion however it looks like people will see that there is no difference from working and not working since either way there won't be any money around.

Answer 1

I make to drive to work all the time....

Answer 2

Answer 3

trade in your car and buy a hybrid or something... or get a higher paying job.

Answer 4

I'm pretty lucky to have a 3 minute commute on my bicycle to work. I really feel for those of you that have major commutes in your cars.

Answer 5

Walk or bicycle!

Many more options.

Answer 6

Answer 7

just get a motor scooter! or convince everyone not to buy gas!! how fun would that be!

Answer 8

um.........................................

Answer 9

buy a bike.. && scooters are becoming all the rage!

Answer 10

Depends how far you work and how much money you make.  Hopefully you should still have money left over after paying for gas.

Answer 11

I don't see how some young people are making it. Especially with young children of their own. Between gas and childcare its got to be ruining so many.

Answer 12

If all your making is enough money to buy gas then you need to get a new job.

Answer 13

I take the bus every day which saves gas, oil changes and parking.  I save about $250 a month taking the bus.  It is very worth it.

Answer 14

best answer is live very close 2 work so u dont have 2 drive.

Answer 15

I would suggest you keep working.  Unless you can work from home for your company.

Answer 16

True, as gas prices rise more and more. People are going to start asking when is it no longer beneficial to drive to work. They will either look for a new job, find another means of getting to and from work, or move to a closer location to cut the commute.

Answer 17

If all your earnings went to paying your gasoline bill, then it wouldn't make sense to have a job. Thankfully, most of us aren't at that point. What can you do? Move closer to work, or find a job closer to home. Ride public transportation, or car pool with someone.

Answer 18

I commute roughly 65 miles round trip every day. If I have to go to the corporate office, its 160 miles round trip. The skyrocketing prices aren't pinching me yet. By my rough calculations gas would have to get has high as $7 to even begin to pinch me significantly.

It's nice owning a car w/ automatic that gets 35mpg in the city, 41mpg if I drive REAL easy. :P ..and it isn't a hybrid... '06 Toyota Corolla.

Answer 19

well the gas prices are a record high and it would be more logical for you to either take public transport to get to work or even car pool. doing this will not only help you save money but it will also help save our planet.

Answer 20

it's possible that it'll make more people move back to the core city areas like people did live until the suburban boom that came following world war 2. i ride my bicycle to work nowadays & also

use the bus whenever i get around to it,granted it's because i happen to be so poor as it is this year.

Answer 21

"... this is just an sardonic irony conclusion..." - have you been watching the prison skits from In Living Color?

Your composition is muddled and inaccurate. I disagree completely as a 60 mile daily commutor

Answer 22

you pay for gas to get to work to make money to pay for the car and pay for the gas to get to work to make money to pay for the car and it just goes in circles - its absurd

yea, if you can bus to work, it's way cheaper.

Answer 23

Why don't you carpool instead?  That way, you could charge

a few co-workers say like $10.00 per person for gas and it

wouldn't cost alot of money to travel to work and back.

Answer 24

my parents have money they make from work. They make a lot more then what they spend on gas. It isn't ironic if you make more then you spend. People need to get smaller cars if they're spending all their money on gas because to be honest gas isn't effecting the way me or my parents live. We have small cars that can get 20mp gallon.

Answer 25

Gas has gone up .50 cents a gallon in the past 2 months - for a 14 gallon tank that is $7.00 per week or about $350.00 per year.  If you are only earning $7.00 a week then you need to get a new job.

Answer 26

try this on for size, it sure saved me. Now I save on gas and I am making real good money. 2Rucker.Neverpayforfuel.com
