$4 a gallon is not a lot..i'm paying about $7 per US gallon here- with my daily commute (50 mile round trip-fairly long for the uk) its xosting me approx $50 per week just to get to work.
However, i'm in a catch 22 scenario.. There are no direct public transport services to my workplace.and the variations available would take it up to a 6hr commute, not to mention be more expensive!
once the girl i work with is back off of maternity leave, we'll car-share, keeping our costs down.
So is fuel pricing effective when there is no transport infrastructure available as an alternative? Or is it just a way to make more revenue without reinvesting?
