Oh gee......Are gas prices all I see?

Gas prices bite right now. It's a fact. 3.81 a gallon was the price today. I'm blessed enough to not be too worried about this, although it DOES impact my decisions, my budget, and my overall budget.

SO, here is our family 'plan.' It's partially motivated by gas prices but I think also motivated by desire to 'drive less.' Luckily, we live in a city that makes biking easy and breezy.

I use my car two and from work each day. Necessary. K uses bike or shuttle. Only occasionally car. On the weekend, we use K's car for trips. Also, we use OUR FEET to walk to the local coffee shop, church, CVS or THE BIKE as often as possible.

It's not a perfect plan, but we too are making an effort to reduce overall driving. What about u?
