I figured this out 5 years ago and got an apt across the street from work, a grocery store, a walmart a barbershop and the post office. I don't care if gas goes to $50 a gallon, I currently buy gas about 4 times a year, and could even cut that down. The longest trips I took last month were about 16 miles to go renew my car registration and renew my drivers license.
This is with a grand am that still gets over 30 mpg on the highway, around
32 last thanksgiving when I visited my sister's house 200 miles away.
