Very car-lite here. I am very fortunate to live within a half-mile of FIVE different bus routes (a new route was just added here the beginning of this year). Bus service here keeps improving a little each year due to increased ridership and of course all busses have bike racks on them so we don't really need a car all the time. Gasoline here is $2.59/gal as of this posting. Wife was raised in NYC and never did drive. I ride my bike seven miles one-way to work + errands. We do have an old minivan we bought last summer (we need the cargo space) but we are down to using it once a week for groceries and going to the home-improvement center for supplies that I can't carry on a bike.
