We make no useless trips and combine as much as possible into that trip.

We ride bus, train, carpool, and walk when possible.

Life's just a crazy ride on a run away train

You can't go back for what you've missed

So make it count, hold on tight find a way to make it right

You only get one trip

So make it good, make it last 'cause it all flies by so fast

You only get one trip

What have I done to save gasoline?

Slaughtered 2 soccer moms driving Ford Excursions, and 8 d!ckheads driving Hummers.

As opposed to your Toyota Tacoma which gets what, 16/20mpg?

Currently getting 24mpg.

Thing is, it's a pickup. It gets used as a pickup - a lot. How many people need and fully use a Hummer?

Lady, people aren't chocolates. Do you know what they are mostly? Bastards. ####### coated bastards with ####### filling. But I don't find them half as annoying as I find naive bobble-headed optimists who walk around vomiting sunshine.

Instead of going into the city every weekend (30min away) to get bit's and pieces I now go every two/three weeks or go into the local town, which I hate with a passion, which is why I go into the city normally.

At the beginning of the year we traded my SUV for a 4 door sedan. That was before the gas got really crazy, thank goodness.

I run behind a bus to get to work & save myself $1.75.

Next week I plan to run behind a taxi and save $7 plus tip.
