Seriously don't know what people in the US are bitching about. Your gas is still cheap compared to Canada and Europe. In BC we're up to $1.40+ a litre and rising. That's around $5.60 per gallon. In Europe it's even higher.
in any case, I say if you don't like it, work towards beating your addiction to cars. I know some peopme HAVE to have them... but not the majority. Get on public transit, walk, cycle, carpool, Taxi when necessary. You will save thousands a year. If you must have a car for special trips, rent one. You'll save money, and the environment will love you. Or at least go from a two or three car family to a one car family... I know it's harder to be car free with kids, but more than one car per family seems excessive to me... it's just that people seem addicted to extreme convenience.

- proudly car free since 1976

public transit...i did the math once...it cost more to take the bus than it takes to buy gas....and the commute time goes from 20 minutes to close to an hour.

But I doubt it costs more than gas + insurance + parking + car payments + repairs and maintenance!
Also, yeah, it takes planning to be car free. I.e. live closer to work, or live on suitable transit routes, etc... of course, a 20 minute drive is not a very long bike ride... and it doesn't take any longer to carpool! Combining all these different methods can work too ... there are usually options. As I said, people are.addicted to convenience ; that makes excuses flow freely. Anyway, I'm not actually as righteous as I'm probably coming off. It's just that with all these options available, and the fact that it's really just a learned addiction to cars that most people have, complaining about gas prices seems pretty ridiculous, especially when they're cheaper than many other places.

parking is free
car is paid for

costs include gas, maintence and insurance...plus the lost opportunity to put those dollars to work making money.


but....i highly doubt you would want to ride a bike here in jan/feb when the show is flying.

it's also tough to swing by the home depot to pick up 500lbs of stuff on a bike.

yes, it all could be done, but i'm not doing it.

I've been finding the mid-grade at about an average of $3.59/gallon.

Biking weather is coming, and I now have a free bus pass from working at KUER 90.1. Plan on utilizing that now...
