We're Number 1!!!

I've read that we (Chicagoland) have the highest gas prices in the country. Around Oak Park, its something like 3.70, but in the city in some places its over $4. Maybe, high gas prices will finally convince America of the need for better public transit. One can always hope. I'm grateful that my commute to work only involves a 4 mile drive. Aside from work, we're mostly just driving around town, so we rarely travel more than 3 miles for any of our errands. Hooray for dense urban environments!
