Unfortunately, not everyone can walk 2 blocks to the grocery store. I would LOVE to live near work so I could walk. But that isn't the reality right now. I am hoping to move back to Europe next year or back to a city that has a metro system or to a place where I can walk to work again (and sometimes I was walking up to an hour and really enjoyed it--it was refreshing). But that isn't a possibility now.
Not everyone is being "wasteful." Some of us just don't have options other than to drive to work. So no need to be so condescending to everybody.
...
Driving to work is not wasteful. It is necessary.
Wasteful is sitting in your SUV with the motor running and the A/C going full bore for 15 minutes in a drive thru line at McDonalds.
Wasteful is driving... just for the sake of driving.
Wasteful is driving 2 blocks to sit in a drive thru line at McDonalds for 15 minutes.
America is the land of the drive thru... you can drive thru banks, dry cleaners, Starbucks, pharmacies... they even want Drive Thru voting!!!
That is waste.

We just have to face reality... the oil companies will charge what people are willing to pay. Why give us a break when they can sell that same gallon to someone in China willing to pay 5 bucks? You, me some guy in China... we are all the same to the oil company exec. They have no loyalty to us.. just themselves.

I'm not being wasteful. It's is a necessary tool that I need in my current living situation. It's not possible for me to bike 150 miles a week to work.

Why are people taking wasteful so personally? Are you making unnecessary drives? Do you waste gas idling for 20 minutes? That is waste... and a lot of Americans waste gasoline.
Case in point... my neighbor.
When gas first hit 3 bucks... she was complaining. I told her I noticed her making several trips out of our neighborhood in one day. She said, "Yeah... i'm running my errands".
She would run to the Target to get something and come home. Then, she would run over to the mall for something and return home... then, to the grocery store... or the bank... or the subway... or the gas station.
I told he she needed to plan her trips... since the Target and the supermarket were between home and the mall. Go to the mall... get what she needs... stop at the Target... then, to the supermarket... then, home.
I also checked her tires (which were under inflated) and changed her air cleaner and PCV valve and gave her my coupon for the oil change at the Jiffy Lube on the corner.
...
I still see here driving in and out.. but, not half as much as she used to.

What? You DON'T think America is an OIL JUNKIE? Okay. You and I see things completely different.
If you think it's normal to run a car engine all day running their errands... then, complain about how much gas they use... fine. I feel, if you are going to waste gas... you shouldn't bitch about how much it costs.
My neighbor told me she IS NOT having to fill up as much. So, I guess my 'chastising' actually helped her save gas.
If you believe our drive thru society is not wasting gas... that's on you. I just know that you are getting 0 MPG when you are idling.

I fully understand what you are saying, but why is it your mission to tell people how "addicted" they are to oil?
If she wastes gas then that's on her.....Not everyone is practicing the waste she is. However, you seem to think that everyone is that wasteful.
In other words, I realize there is a "oil addiction", but who are you to say that other people shouldn't use what they need fo their lifestyle.
People can make their own decision without people like you breathing down their necks telling them how terrible they are. Its the exact reason why most some people hate environmentlist. Delivery....

My family just went on our tri-annual Disneyland trip and for the 1st time, we spent more on gas than we did on our motel! :eek: and we stayed 3 nights!!!
Imagine how bad rush hour would be if our cars ran on flatulence. Can you even begin to imagine how bad that would smell?
Just trying to lighten the mood here today...
Yeah there are some angry people in here! :eek: That is why I stay away from the train...people get so heated and they can't even get the point of what the other person is saying because they are so angry or think their way is the only way.
At least your public transportation system is better than the US. The bus system here, in Reno is so-so.I would park my car and use the bus instead of paying the prices for gas. But, you have us beat with $10 gas/per liter.
when you get confused just listen to the music play........

No need to cool off. I just think the message is not getting through.
Basically... if you are going to waste... don't complain.
It's coming through loud and clear.
My point is that it does no good to tell people how terrible they are for wasting their own gas. It's there money and gas!
That's why people can't get on board with most enviromentalist. They come at them judging before they can educate them.
If I'm already an "Oil Addicted, Fat American who loves Mcdonald's drive thru" then odds are I'm going to tell you to "F" off when you tell me how to use my own gas.

I don't know why people think I'm angry. Here are my points:
America is addicted to oil.
Americans are going to have to get used to higher prices gasoline... free ride is over.
Cheap gasoline is not a birth right... neither is driving.
Eliminate waste. Waste defined as: excessive idling, unnecessary drives.
...
If you are the person who wastes gasoline, then you should either:
A. Accept and continue your wasteful habits and quit complaining about how much the gas costs... OR
B. Alter your habits to reduce your consumption, thus reducing your gasoline costs (i.e. doing something about it rather than just complaining (bitching) about it).
...
Anyone who wants to agrue any of these points... feel free. Just don't have a conniption fit if I say, ''fucking" or "goddamn" because I like saying "fucking" and "goddamn". Oh, what the Hell... have a conniption fit... it'll be fun.

Also... you don't like me calling YOU wasteful or addicted. You can justify your behaviour... you just don't want to hear it from anyone else. Especially some fucking guy on a message board.

Lastly... if you are a "fat American... blah-blah-blah... McDonalds... blah-blah-blah..." then, go ahead and tell me to Fuck off... I don't care.

First off... you don't like environmentalists. I get it. Even though it has NOTHING to do with this issue. Issue being, current cost of gasoline.
...
Next... I have a feeling you find yourself waiting in a few drive-thru windows. Otherwise, you wouldn't be so rabidly defensive of my attacks on them.
...
Also... you don't like me calling YOU wasteful or addicted. You can justify your behaviour... you just don't want to hear it from anyone else. Especially some fucking guy on a message board.
...
Lastly... if you are a "fat American... blah-blah-blah... McDonalds... blah-blah-blah..." then, go ahead and tell me to Fuck off... I don't care. It does not change the fact that you are bitching about the cost you are having to pay... yet, are not willing to change your behaviour in order to get yourself to shut the fuck up, already.
Hail, Hail!!!
Simple.
Profits.
Why should Exxon sell a gallon of gas to an American for 3 bucks... when there is a guy in China willing to pay 5 bucks?
...
Welcome to the WTO (remember, that was that thing all those hippies rioted about in Seattle back in the 1990s). It is here.
Hail, Hail!!!
No I'm pointing out the obvious double standards of Environmentalist Hipster Elitest (as long as we're calling names)....
complaning about others complaining....Ironic
