high gas prices

I'm not making any significant changes because my normal practice is to try to live with an eye toward using fossel fuels of all sorts in a responsible way. I could, of course do better, but this has been consistently important to me since the 70s.

We got a moped this spring, to both combat gas prices and provide a second vehicle for our family. We also use the bus system, car pool, and combine trips as much as possible. When gas prices spiked last time, we switched from a 15 mpg (jeep cherokee) to a 30+ mpg (scion xB) car. Oh, to live in Europe again where we could be completely car-free and walk or use the various forms of public transport to get around!
