Once my daughter is no longer on training wheels, I will likely ride a bike, and just have her ride to school as well. Sorry, she can't ride the bus from my house, her mom lives in a different school district than I do.

Buy a more fuel-efficient car. Great, so now I have to spend several thousand dollars so that I can get 40 mpg instead of 33 mpg. No thanks. Motorcycle has the same limitations as walking or riding a bicycle, so that doesn't help (although I ride it when possible). There are no real alternative sources of energy and frankly, there is no REAL reason for gas to be $4 a gallon. But the oil companies have finally figured out there isn't shit we can do about it, so they keep finding ways to cause a "shortage." Fuckers.

i have a honda FIT(fag in transit)and i get 38+ miles to the gallon, car cost 17k. i could probably pick up a few more mpg's if i would make a short ram intake for the car.
