I'd rather pay $4.50...
- To travel 15 miles
- To comfortably sit in an air conditioned vehicle
- To listen to whatever music I choose
- To get where I need to be in mere minutes
Or I could pay $0.00...
- Walk for 15 miles
- On an 85*F day, sweating profusely
- No music
- It'll take 5 hours of walking to get there
- It'll take me another five hours to get home
- How much will I spend on water to rehydrate myself? :biggrin
- Walking next to cars traveling 40+ MPH
I don't think we have it bad. Granted I don't like paying more, but overall for where I can go with a car, how fast I can get there, and how convenient and comfortable it is - $4.50 is well worth it. Now if I could only tell that minivan to move over on the one lane road because I'm tired of doing ten under to save 1 MPG :bored I'm not trying to say $4.50 isn't a lot of money, it is what it is, but what I get out of it is seriously and very easily worth it to me. Any other thoughts on this? Every time I hear about gas prices I always think this to myself and it thought it would be interesting to share because I've never heard people talk about the positive side...Just complaining :thumbsdow
