A smart way to save money on gas


This week (the Sept. 24 issue) I wrote a story on people who bike to work.

I’ve been wanting to do a story on this for quite some time now. I’m glad I finally did.

I interviewed two men who bike to work. I have to give them credit. They bike to work in all kinds of weather.

One of the reasons I wrote a story on this subject is because of the coverage in April or May we had about gas and food prices increasing. We received excellent feedback from the coverage. I guess you could say that the economy issue really hit home.

I wanted to show our readers that there are solutions. Sure, I hate paying $35 every time I fill up. But I try not to complain about it. I know some people who drive SUVs and bigger vehicles have it worse.

Instead of complaining about gas and the economy, do something about it. Talk to local politicians. Write letters. Look into getting a hybrid car. A familiar phrase comes to mind: Don’t be part of the problem. Be part of the solution.
