I am fortunate enough to live in a town where I can walk to mostly everything and the things I can't walk to I can take the bus. I don't even own a car anymore since I gave mine away. So I am not up on current gas prices. I overheard some kids talking about how much they spend on gas a month and I almost choked. I live in the same town as them, they can walk to most of the places they're driving.
It's cold and it's winter, I know, but I walk everywhere and I have Raynaud's and I fair just fine. Slip on some gloves and a scarf and get an umbrella for the rainy days. Walks are a form of exercise and it gives you time to clear your head and become aware of your surroundings. Is seven blocks really that far to you? If it is then you know you need to start walking more because you definitely aren't getting enough exercise.
How much do you spend a month on gas!?! Do you really need to?! Can you walk or ride a bike or use public transportation? The whole oil industry is fishy at best and I think we can all take extra steps for our health, our wallets, and our Earth and back way off on the gasoline.
