Similar - but I am in-office every day, but that office is also in Arlington, so I can also go 2.5-3 weeks. I would love to bike to work, but after-school kid stuff is in the opposite direction and makes it unmanageable.

Do you buy anything at the store? How do you think that gets there? Do you have gas at home for heat or cooking?


Different kind of gas, just fyi.


Tell me you don't know how the gas gets to your stove without telling me.

It already is in parts of the country. I live in one of them.

I have no ceiling otherwise I would not be able to go anywhere. No reliable public transportation options. I’m ok with this.

This has been measured before. When gas prices rose in the 1970s, drivers reduced non-essential trips. Carpooling and public transportation increased. Long-term, people also replaced their cars with smaller and more efficient models, which drove changes in the automobile industry but I think OP's question was about the short term.


Nobody is coming out ahead buying a new car, no matter the cost of gas. Cars and taxes are $$$$$


Actually, won't people switch to electric vehicles?

I'm a single mom on one income so I'm a little nervous. I do have a dutch cargo bike that I can ride all my kids around in though which is a nice option.

It doesn't matter because no matter what, I have to drive. However, even the people who do not drive will of course suffer because their food still needs to get to the grocery store. In this country everything depends on gas.

I'm willing to pay however much it takes to drive and continue on with daily life.
