	Because if gas is $10 a gallon we don't have a mass transit system available, certainly not on a country-wide scale, to go to.  We don't have anything but our cars to get around, and trucks to move things like produce.  Easy to say, "Ride your bike" but if you live 30 miles from your job, you'll either lose your job or keep driving a car.It's not like Europe, Wilko.  $10 a gallon will shut this country down.

It's not as if mass transit is an alternative here for most people. It's slow, not connecting everything and not cheap. Wilko New

Last week it cost me 740 US$ to drive to Slovenia for a one week kayaking holiday. Wilko New

How far is it to Slovenia from where you live? DangerJudy New

1620 miles <NT> RUwet New

Sorry, that was what I drove for the entire week, there and back as well as driving a bit locally. <NT> Wilko New

About 700 miles, one way. Wilko New
