I mean if you're spending all your money on gasoline then you won't any money left so when you think about it, it's no different from not earning money.

This is just an sardonic irony conclusion however it looks like people will see that there is no difference from working and not working since either way there won't be any money around.
I was just asking because apparently that is what's happening to some people so for them to still choose to fork out so much cash for gasoline that burns fast for having luxury vans are naive.

huh?

um.............................................................

just get a motor scooter! or convince everyone not to buy gas!! how fun would that be!

best answer is live very close 2 work so u dont have 2 drive.

True, as gas prices rise more and more. People are going to start asking when is it no longer beneficial to drive to work. They will either look for a new job, find another means of getting to and from work, or move to a closer location to cut the commute.

buy a bike.. && scooters are becoming all the rage!

"... this is just an sardonic irony conclusion..." - have you been watching the prison skits from In Living Color?

Your composition is muddled and inaccurate. I disagree completely as a 60 mile daily commutor

my parents have money they make from work. They make a lot more then what they spend on gas. It isn't ironic if you make more then you spend. People need to get smaller cars if they're spending all their money on gas because to be honest gas isn't effecting the way me or my parents live. We have small cars that can get 20mp gallon.

you pay for gas to get to work to make money to pay for the car and pay for the gas to get to work to make money to pay for the car and it just goes in circles - its absurd

yea, if you can bus to work, it's way cheaper.

Gas has gone up .50 cents a gallon in the past 2 months - for a 14 gallon tank that is $7.00 per week or about $350.00 per year. If you are only earning $7.00 a week then you need to get a new job.

try this on for size, it sure saved me. Now I save on gas and I am making real good money. 2Rucker.Neverpayforfuel.com

I don't see how some young people are making it. Especially with young children of their own. Between gas and childcare its got to be ruining so many.

I commute roughly 65 miles round trip every day. If I have to go to the corporate office, its 160 miles round trip. The skyrocketing prices aren't pinching me yet. By my rough calculations gas would have to get has high as $7 to even begin to pinch me significantly.
It's nice owning a car w/ automatic that gets 35mpg in the city, 41mpg if I drive REAL easy. :P ..and it isn't a hybrid... '06 Toyota Corolla.
