Where Has the Fun Gone?

A personal story in the experience: I Hate Paying So Much For Gas
I used to have a powerful engine, go for long drives in the mountains as cheap entertainment. Used to drive 100 miles on Friday night to eat in a favorite restaurant. Gas was cheap, not a significant part of my budget. Now I don't take long, drives just for fun. I drive 7 miles to the ferry, 1 hr on the ferry, another 7 miles on the other end and unless We need food, I don't drive unnecessarily .

I'm for lower prices but the trick is to stop using gasoline!

I know exactly how you feel. I was wondering the exact same thing, "Where has the fun gone?" I almost never have fun with my hubby anymore and I can't stand riding the bus, always have.

Yep, rode the bus as a kid but once I got my own wheels that was freedom to roam, explore. Now the cost of that is high. I might ride my bike again!

I have no sympathy for anyone who drives an H2.

If you can afford it and want to flaunt it, then that's your bag. On the other hand, think how many purses you could buy with the savings?
