How do you travel to and from work - personal vehicle, bus, subway/train, pedal power? What does it cost you per week in gas or fares?

I really hate when the print is small and the vox buttons do nothing.
Anyhow, I travel to work by rocket ship. Or my 2003 Honda Civic SI. It's almost like a rocket ship; it's a hatchback. It requires about twenty bucks a week in gas. As long as I don't go far from home or work, that is. This weekend will probably push that total up a bit.
This is a really boring entry. Damn. Sorry.
I used to commute really far, about 50 miles each way to and from work. That was back when gas was under two dollars and I had a car with considerably better gas mileage. I can't imagine doing that now. And for those of you that do it, I have great empathy for you. But seriously, move closer to work. It'll save you in the long run in every area.

[this is good]

It is nice to live close to work. Go home for lunch close. My body no longer is up for it. I could do something on the computer for like an hour, but most of those thing are scams or so I have heard.

Your amount was actually lower than I figured most were. I spend $30 per month, but thank goodness I don't go far.

It is really nice. I come home for lunch when I can. My weekly price is going steadily up with the gas prices. I paid about $4.50/gallon the other day.
