I have been living in Sitka for four months now and I pretty much drive everywhere. I sprinkle in an occasional walk, if you know Sitka you know what I mean by sprinkle. All of this driving makes me feel a little guilty,because this is a bicycle and pedestrian friendly community.
The price of gas is not the main motivation for changing my driving habits,there are several factors in play here:

*the idea that Americans need to start thinking about change,and it starts with each individual.

*The general world situation is crazy right now and it is all because of oil greed and need

So I decided to see what the numbers would look like if I made a small change in my driving habits.Not only to see how much money I would save but,how much less gas I would consume, and then run some numbers to see if a lot of people made this small change, how much overall gas would be saved, and then see what that would mean for overall oil consumption.You can see the rest of the basic premise at this link
