    It is still cheaper than public transport. Just. But unlike the busses I can get to work in 50 minutes instead of a seven hour round trip. :doh: You just get used to paying that much - I factor in two days pay each month just to pay for getting to the office.

        Had to take a spare PC to a sattelite center this morning in South Carolina. As I got closer, the price of gasoline dropped sharply... USD $1.86 / gallon! And this after I had to fill up last night at USD $2.01 / gallon... How are gas prices where you are? Tim

                    They've come down off their highs of earlier in the year and it now costs $6.51 per US Gallon where I am.

                      Using a litre to US gallon conversion, and xe.com for the currency conversion, standard unleaded petrol/gas at my local garage is $7.06 per gallon.

                      :wtf: What's the local garage rate (in p/l)? I just worked out what I pay for unleaded 89p/l at Tesco and it comes out to $6.54 / gallon. [edit]Just realised how strong £ is so even 1 or 2p will make a big difference.[/edit]


                      I have no idea what I just said. But my intentions were sincere.

                                    Seeing how my monthly travelcard (public transport passes) has gone up and petrol prices have remained roughly the same, I wouldn't be surprised to find that if I drive to work, it would be cheaper on my wallet.

                                      Jeez...course the up side to some public transport is you can work on a laptop or watch movies or something. I'd almost go for it if I had a 1hr+ commute, would be nice to get that extra work done even if the car only took 1/2hr.

                                        Just for curiosity, how much of that is taxes and what does the tax money go towards? Here in Michigan, I think about $0.19 of every gallon goes to federal taxes for road maintenance, $0.27 goes to the state gas tax (road), and then there's the state sales tax, at 6%, going to the general fund. BTW, I just paid $2.07(and 9/10ths)/gallon last night, all taxes included.

                                          Don't you mean: Missing expletive after the definite article?
