Do I really need a car?
I haven’t driven my car in over a week. Normally I’d catch the bus some days, but other days go for car convenience. It hasn’t been a planned decision not to drive it, but I just don’t want to spend over $1.80/L on petrol. So, increased petrol prices are good for the environment, and the buses have been fine so far. Others live pretty carless lives, it makes me wonder if I could get by without the car altogether. I should budget how much the car costs when it is not running, and what the alternatives are. I should also do a general budget. More stuff for my ToDo list.

But if you give up your car, how would we get down to National Park?
Actually if you start factoring in how much a car really costs you, including petrol, registration, insurance, maintenance, and the money you’re losing as it depreciates, it equates to a lot of beer and taxi rides…

@M: We could take the train? My car is pretty old, don’t think it is depreciating too fast anymore. Will need to do some gnumericing.
@S: Yes OK housetruck, that’d save petrol.

You budget money for a rental car which means when you NEED a car you just hire one. PS I cannae see my text where it goes past your banner on the right…?
