cute tips. It is very true that the same thing can apply to saving fuel.
@Wally, car pooling is great. That is one way to catch up and socialize. Or else, there is hardly any time to do so.

@David–I know, it seems unfair of us to be complaining about it, doesn’t it? The problem, though, is not so much that we’re paying $4 for gas now, it’s that it went up from $3 so quickly! It went up 50-cents a gallon in just about a month and people’s budgets just can’t compensate quickly enough for so drastic an increase.

Gasoline in the US has always been ridiculously cheap - we currently pay about $9 a gallon in the UK. Throughout Europe thats a middling price (Spain $7.50, Norway $10.50). I’m sure your fuel prices used to be about 33% of ours, so perhaps you’re catching up!

One thing that has helped me MOST, is car pooling to work. It’s a 35 mile drive, and we have 3 of us in on taking a day each and driving.
Less GAS, wear and tear on the car and I enjoy the conversations we have while driving. Makes it seem like a short drive!

Deb, this is great, love how you tied the 2 topics together and it makes perfect sense.

And re: gas prices…I get my gas at Costco, haven’t filled up for awhile but it’s probably close to 4.00 - means I don’t mow the lawn all the time, either!

Great headline and article idea–with useful tips for writers. As for our gas prices…yesterday $4.89 and climbing. Diesel was over $5.20 last I checked.

@PreSchool Mama–I was so tempted to use that as a pro-Mac/anti-Windows item, but since I actually use Windows myself, it felt too much like shooting myself in the foot for a minor joke (grin).

Nice analogy. It really stretches to mind to think in those terms!
