There is a big Eckerds store about 1/4 mile from my house and I occasionally pull in there to get bread or something I've forgotten to get at the grocery store. Tonight I needed some bread and a few other things. I was about to grab the car keys when I actually stopped and decided to WALK to Eckerds because of the price of gas. So, I got what I needed, didn't use a drop of gas, and got some exercise.

Just to clarify, I have walked to this store many times before. The difference tonight was the reason I did it: solely because of the price of gas. I've never walked to the store with the specific goal being to save gas.

Oddly - the only reason I ever walk to the store is to defy the undeniable fact that I'm one lazy sack of "stuff". Fuel savings was never an issue

I walked to WalMart, and then to Taco Bueno last saturday...but mainly because I had just waxed the car and it rained. :-) It did feel good though. I need a lot more of that.

You must have been bushed after that marathon.

Stay single, mori.
 
If you think of the fact that a cold start combined with a short trip uses the most gas and puts the most strain on your engine, you did yourself a favor from two angles.
