There is one very simple solution to spending less money on gasoline and that is by not driving. This is not something most people are willing to do, especially if it means taking public transportation. Even though there might be a bus going right to where they are going, most people aren't that thrilled with riding with a bunch of strangers. Even car pooling isn't something most people want to be a part of, so a lot of gas is wasted by drivers traveling alone to their destinations.

No one should be blamed for their personal preferences, but for anyone truly serious about cutting fuel costs, public transportation is an option. Most people have no idea what controls fuel prices, but they know that prices are not coming down much any time soon, or forever. The choices are to keep driving and paying the high prices, or find ways to cut back on driving so much. Since there isn't much you can do about the price at the pump, if you want to save money, other options need to be found. You can try a lot of things to conserve energy, or increase the fuel efficiency of your car, but nothing will save you more money than not driving at all.

When you don't even turn your car on, it uses no gas at all. That is why the option of public transportation should be appealing to many people. It doesn't work for everyone, because the local bus doesn't go where you are going, but that doesn't mean it can't work sometimes. Maybe you need to go shopping, or some other activity where a bus might work getting you to it. If more people started taking this type of transportation, the number of routes would have to expand to accommodate everyone. Think about the gas you could save by not driving on one or more days each week, and you might find riding the bus more enjoyable than you ever imagined.

Forcing someone to use public transportation is not a good idea, but there are now more reasons to use the system rather than because you are poor. Unless you are living in a big city, riding on the bus was only for people who couldn't afford a car, but now, helping the environment is a good reason to take the bus once in a while. There has never been a better time to get cars off of the roads. Think about how things could change, if one day a week, everyone chose not to drive. Either they could not go anywhere, choose to walk, or even take public transportation.

Not only would it do wonders for the environment by cutting back on emissions, but thing about all of the money people would have to spend on something else, besides giving money to the big oil companies. Maybe now is the time to give public transportation a try.
