Gas Prices in Your area, Let's hear about it.

I wish that I had the option of other forms of transportation but I currently I drive so far to work that there are no other options. I spend a lot even though I drive a Civic. Hopefully I'll be able to get another job so that I either won't have to drive so far or I'll have more options available. Right now I don't have other options.

regular gas here is 90.9 and higher. I got my bike out Saturday evening, and will be using that as my primary source of transportation. A great way to stay in shape....just ask Raul...:-)

Move closer to work?

>Move closer to work?

 

Not always practical.

 

I live 2 miles from my office and still drive to work often. (Many days I either bike or walk.)

 

If I need to make a pickup or dropoff at one of the airports, a bike won't cut it. If I need to run to the doctor for the monthly bloodletting, it's 30 miles one-way and no way to get there but the freeway. If I need to visit a client site, it's probably in a different county. If I want to swing by Starbucks, it's 10 miles out of the way.

 

(Yes, I know you hate Starbucks but it's the best we've got anywhere near.)

 

Another reason moving closer to work isn't practical is some people have mortgages and the house won't sell quickly, or they are stuck in leases that may well outlast the job.

 

It's just not as simple as moving closer, kiddo. We don't all live in the inner city.

 

(I did live in the inner city for a long time, and didn't have a car for 15 years so I support your general idea but I temper it with reality.)

[+ deej]

Ouchie, Jared! Can I kiss the booboo and make it better? }(

 

You make an interesting observation that is actually far beyond your years.

 

As recently as 2001 we were seeing gas prices at $.89/gallon in some areas.

 

When I graduated high school in 1976 people were scandalized that gas might go over $1/gallon. My yearbook even had a picture of a gas pump to symbolize the shock.

 

25 years later, in 2001, we still had gas at $.89 in some areas.

 

Now cook the numbers from 2001 to 2007 -- a scant 6 years. We're seeing prices easily over $3/gallon and I've seen reports saying the auto makers are planning for $4 and $5/gallon. (You thought the hybrids were built out of a sense of responsibility? They know what's coming!)

 

There is little reality in gas prices.

If you knew where I worked you would be encouraging me not to move closer.

 

Maybe I should change careers to escorting. I'll probably have more options for locations then ;-)

Deej you will have to get over to Cafe Intelligentsia. Being from Chicago I am or at least hope you are familiar with them. I give them a solid A for their espresso. I've yet to try their drip coffee. Maybe this summer when I get back to Chicago.

Honey, I haven't been back to Chicago in several years but I'll sure look the place up if I ever get back there.

No need to go all the way to Chitown. Course for me any reason to go to Chitown is a good enough for me. There is a shop in Silver Lake that just recently opened. And the best thing is they roast the beans local no flying the stuff out to LA so it is super fresh. Much fresher then Coffee Bean or Charbucks.

Chicago is actually more likely than Silverlake. ;-) I'm not driving 40 miles for a cuppa coffee.

As of today the prices are continuing to be insanely and criminally increasing! In San Francisco a gallon of medium to high is now in the $4.00+ area. I know these prices will definitely filter down to where I live. The auto that I presently drive (Volvo S80) is expensive to fill up, over $50 for a full tank.

 

I am royally pissed and wished that Everyone throughout the country would cease driving his or her vehicle for a day except for emergency, ambulances, and the such! Let our vehicles sit and rest!

Never understood why the price per gallon was always so much more in the Bay Area. Is there a hefty gas tax there? Or does it somehow cost more to produce and distribute gas there?
