Why? We have never had any issue using cars commuting in the winter, ever.

I walk to work.

That and 4/AWD doesn't have to mean body-on-frame monster truck that gets 11MPG either.

And the pound is $1.945:£

Gas here in London is ~£1.20/liter. Think that over for a second.

Gas becomes relatively cheaper for other countries as currencies become stronger than the dollar anyway since barrels of oil are traded in USD.

So how much do you pay to fill a tank of gas? (In us$)

That is not something that can change back overnight.

Or ever, most people who live around me (burbs) have at least a twenty-thirty minute commute to make, and I doubt many of them are moving any time soon.

Me too, I work across the street from my house.

Well, technically, young people out of college could move into the city.

But for this to happen realistically, contractors would need to buy, clean up, and build new housing inside cities. No one is going to want to live in a shit hole. Especially if they want kids. Zoning laws would probably need to revert back too. We'll have to go back to building things close together.

I don't have a car in the UK.

But if I did, the correct answer is "less than if barrels of oil were traded in British pounds." Even though gas is more expensive in Europe, the $10.60 it costs for a gallon in the UK would be ~$21 a gallon if the pound was $1:£1 instead of $2:£1.

Really, $4 a gallon isn't bad in the States.

I can't wait to get home on Saturday. WHEEEEE

Considering most jobs are centered in financial districts in big cities where housing is ridiculously expensive, consider yourself lucky.

I work 1 mile from my place. I've lost a lot of weight due to this job. So, I get Cardio and I get a work out ... working at the Garden center. Trees, stones, mulch, etc. Oh and I get a farmers tan too.
