i would love to ride a Vespa (wife wont let me) ride a bike (do it, but hard to carry my gym clothes, lunch, lap top, meeting notes and binder at the same time for the 13 km to work), car pool (this i have done, but it is klugey). But it is really difficult to navigate a family of 5 anywhere on a regular basis, using transit/bikes. Try leaving No Frills with the regular $200 groceries in a taxi or bus. So I pay the price to fill my VW, but only complain about the elasticity of the prices.
Back in the '70's prices seemed to vary by 2/10's of a cent per GALLON over several days. Not 10/cents per litre within a day!
