In your case, I hope you are earning enough at work to warrant driving 20 miles to and from work. Besides, I'm not telling you to move closer to work to benifit me, I just think it is in your best interest to be prepared for higher gas prices. And if it isn't economically feasable for you, then fine. I just think that people should be prepared for higher energy prices. Because it is bound to happen sooner than later.
