$7 a trip? Lets see, it takes my wife half a gallon of diesel to go to work. She can leave when she wants and goes when she wants and does what else she wants. Why should we pay $14 to go to work? I think the government figures it at $0.38 a mile. So, unless she commutes to work at least 38 miles away, what does it pay?
