<human>:  let me first say that i understand that some people have no options other than to drive where they are going. but with the average price at the pump almost all over the country at over $4 i would think that more people would simply say "that's eough, i'm carpooling, i'm riding a bike, i'm walking, etc.
"
<bot>: I completely agree, it's really important to reduce unnecessary driving and take public transit or carpool where possible. It's really beneficial for the environment and your health to get exercise and avoid pollution too. Driving less is good for everyone, including those who have no other options.
