You're an idiot.
I live in the 4th largest metro in the country, and even here, public transportation is not an option.

nikkas cant just "up and leave" to a different city just to save money on gas :why:

:snoop:

how is public transportation not an option?? and, yes, people can and do up and migrate to other cities where public transportation is more accessible. why do you think cities like nyc and boston are so attractive?

Because it's certain suburbs where the buses Dont travel to.

And you're suggestion for people who want to save money, is to move to fukking New York City, the most expensive city in the country?
Fam are you literally retarded :what:

commuter rails take people from the suburbs to the city. you're making a lot of excuses not to take public transportation. you know that public transportation infrastructure is heavily invested in at the moment, precisely because the government is making an effort to wean people off of vehicular dependency.

Fam, do you live out here?
Believe me when I tell you, it aint no damn "commuter rails" or no bullshyt like that.
If you wanna take the train or bus, then you need to either walk or drive to the main city(Dallas) or to one of the suburbs that have a bus.

Man, remember exactly 4 years ago when gas was $2 a gallon?

Right after Obama was elected in 2008, oil went down to $30 a barrell after the economic tanked :wow: ... that winter, gas went to $1.70 a gallon. :blessed: I was broke as hell too and $20 to fill up was literally a lfie saver.

public transportation is NOT an option for everyone. One of my co-workers drives like 75 miles to get here each way cuz he lives out in the country. he can't take public transportation if he wanted to. hell, I dont even think public transportation is an option for most people in los angeles which is crazy when u think about that.

out here, we have the CTA and the Metra. The Metra would be considered the commuter rail, but for me, it's not economically viable. it cost as much as it would for me to drive, the station is not close to my house, and it doesn't drop me off within walking distance of my office. on top of that, to take the commuter rail, I'd have to take the train downtown, then take another train to the suburbs. Plus, where I work, there aren't even sidewalks the entire way from the train station to my gig, and I work on an EXTREMELY busy street, so it's dangerous to walk.

whereas the CTA is like within 5 minutes from my crib, and the bus drops me off at the door step of my office.

An acura tl.

I have the same car and I feel your pain. $70+ to fill the car up ain't whats hot in the streets cuz it takes premium. then again, that's why I supplement my driving with work from home/public transportation. I fill up every week but I only use like 1/2 fuel a week.

Taking public transportation sucks. I'll just stop eating out and if worse comes to worse, stop eating meat which is expensive as fukk but I'm not touching the bus, subway or whatever the fukk else they got going on in the public transportation sector.

My job is very far from my residence so i cant take public transportation like that. The gas tank on this car is so weak. Tank isnt big enough and the gas doesnt last long enough. Im going to have to start pumping past the full point just so i dont have to go to the gas station. That extra trip to the gas station is causing me to eat more candy, which is bad for me.

my car is an 05, and I notice that no matter what, the fuel will shut off before its full. like each time I fill up, I can squeeze another 2-3 gallons in the tank.
