Hitch hiking is fun!
I'm just glad the NYC subway fare isn't going up to 4$ a ride or something.
EDIT: We Americans shouldn't complain. The government pays for most of our gas money through subsides to oil companies.
Yes I know it comes out of our pocket in the end. But look on the bright side, that crazy nuclearrabbit guy down the street still helps pay for your gas even though he doesn't drive a hummer like you do
Seriously, if you try to drive one of those cars you see on American TV in europe while on vacation you'd go bankrupt. This is because in europe, the people who use the gas pay for it. In America the burden is distributed equally, giving us the best American right of them all, the right to feel big by driving a car far bigger then you need.
God bless America :phycoticsmile:

Umm, the big cars cost more on account of they're hugeness.
I don't care how poor you are. If your going to get a car, get a hybrid. It will save you money much more money then the difference between a small car, and a small hybrid car.
