If we all want to be less affected by the gas price hikes and also less dependent of this commodity, most commuters should use transit systems if possible or should form a carpool. I tried the driving cost calculator on the carpooling network and I was amazed to see how much we can spend per year by driving our car alone : http://www.carpoolingnetwork.com
