IS IT WORTH IT TO PAY GAS TO FILL YOUR CAR OR TAKE THE BUS?

AS GAS PRICES ARE AVERAGING 3.35 A GALLON HERE IN CENTRAL NEW YORK EVERYONE IS FEELING THE PAIN AT THE PUMP. SO WHAT DOES $4 A GALLON FOR GAS MEAN FOR YOU? I ASKED SOME OF MY COWORKERS TODAY WHILE I WAS AT WORK AND GOT THEIR EMAIL RESPONSES AND THIS IS WHAT SOME OF THEM SAID.

IF GAS GETS TO 4.01 A GALLON I WILL BE MAKING CHANGES IN HOW I TRAVEL. I MINE AS WELL FLY BECAUSE IT WOULD BE JUST AS MUCH AS DRIVING NOW BECAUSE THE PRICE OF GAS.

A WOMAN AT MY JOB SAID WELL SINCE NO ONE CAN DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT I GUESS WE HAVE TO PAY IT. I MEAN THERE REALLY IS NO EXCUSE WHY GAS IS AVERAGING OVER $3.30 A GALLON IN CENTRAL NEW YORK. BUT IF IT GETS TO $4 I WILL TAKE THE BUS MORE AND MORE TO GET AROUND BECAUSE IN THE LONG RUN IT WILL SAVE ME MONEY.

THIS IS WHAT I HAVE TO SAY ABOUT IT BECAUSE I DO NOT HAVE A CAR. I TAKE THE BUS TO AND FROM WORK EVERYDAY. I GET A WEEKLY BUS PASS AND RIDE UNLIMITED FOR 7 DAYS AND IT ONLY COSTS ME $10 TO DO THAT. NOW IF I HAD A CAR IT WOULD PROBABLY COST ME 40 TO 60 DOLLARS A WEEK TO FILL IT SO IM GLAD I TAKE THE BUS BECAUSE IT IS CHEAPER FOR ME.
