You're kidding, right? The guy has to get to work so he can get paid. Hence, he really doesn't have a choice. He must buy gas. Sometimes those "alternatives" aren't an option, either. For example, what about the people who make their living drivings goods around? Public transportation doesn't apply. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
