How far do you drive to work?

Glenn, sounds to me like you would be a prime candidate for cycling. Being SoCal, you can easily do it all year, no?

Properly outfited, sure! Believe it or not, it does get quite chilly in morning around here and it does rain!

However, we get the impact of San Francisco Bay which brings in cloudy skies and cold moist winds to chill one to the bone in the mornings...even in the middle of the summer. Ever hear the line:

The coldest winter I spent was the summer I spent in San Francisco

No lie! I thought growing up in Colorado that I'd be walking around in shorts year-round but that is quite far from the truth!

I have a 1mile trip/3minutes to work and my wife is a MOM at home.

Unforutantely, I just opened my AmEx bill - Gas -- it tipped the scales at $1100plus last month.

1 Mile X 2 X 28 days per month = 56 miles ÷ $1100 = $19.64 per mile

$4.00/gal gas is starting to look pretty good.

I forgot to mention, lol, that my mini van gets used for lots of deliveries during the course of a day.

Round trip daily is 108 miles. I drive an Audi TT and get 30-33 per gal but I have to run premium. Between the wife and I gas cost over $800 a month.

I live on an island that's only seven miles long so I'll never drive more than that. I do most of my work in my shop which is about 80' from the house. Right now when I deliver to the job it is 3 miles away. With that short distance I still use about 75.00 worth of gas a week. Over here gas is 4.70/gal. Off the island it just reached 4.03.....

For me, it's 45 miles round trip per day. It takes 1 gallon per day on the Harley, and I ride every day rain or shine. My wife is a school teacher and drives a Toyota FJ one mile round trip per day. My truck stays parked 99% of it's life (for the past 2 years). So, normally we use about 6-7 gallons of gas a week total including a few trips to the local stores.
