$3 for gas "VS" $30 for cappuccino

What's $3 a gallon gas compared with $30 a gallon coffee?

I traded in my SUV for a hybrid-electric vehicle early last year. I went from 16 MPG to 45 MPG. I only had an occaisional use for its "SUV qualities," and now that gas prices have been so high, I am extremely happy with my decision. One funny thing is that people who complain about gas prices don't complain about the $30 a gallon cappuccinos that they drink every day. I challenge people to think differently about their lifestyles and about making mature decisions rather than self-centered ones. I know some people need trucks for their jobs, but I question the need if you only drive it to the office everyday.

Well i dont have to worry about either.

I drink water and ride my bike.

 

actually I hate cappuccino & I don't have a car either.
I found the first post on another site...and thought he made a good point.

 

i'm not so up in arms about high gas prices. people will start getting more practical about how they use their cars if it's not so cheap to just get in and drive. i've already witnessed a jump in the number of people riding bikes and taking the public transport to work and such. the only problem i see with gas prices is the inevitable increase in the cost of store bought goods that have to driven or flown in.
