yea..these gas prices are just outrageous. I'm luckly because i only have to drive a few mins and then I take the train to work. FH on the other hand spends tons of money on gas and tolls. We could be saving all that money for the wedding!


yep..fh has a commute and a half..he travels from holtsville (which is near patchogue) to rockville center everyday! He recently started taking the train..he couldn't deal anymore



i used do the commute from Patchogue to RVC -- I used t o take the train too and that is when it is was $2 something a gallon. Forget it now.



yep its ridiculous..takes him 1 hr! more with traffic..and the gas..forget it..he filled up twice a week



If he works close to the train in RVC then it is so worth it. My building was a half of block so even in the freezing cold or scorching heat it was doable. The only good thing was if I drove my boss let me come in later so I didn't have to sit in traffic. But I totally feel you FH's pain.

I do 60 miles round trip a day -- it is horrible. Our only saving grace is FH works from home so only one of us is filling up every week!



yep the train station actually is a block from his job...and from our house he only drives 10 minutes..so its not bad...60 miles round trip? wow thats got to get annoying

I dont drive anymore.. FH drives to work (yonkers) and it costs him 1 paycheck for tolls and another for gas! Its beyond ridiculous!



I believe that! It's absolutely disgusting. I know, I actually hardly ever drive...once in awhile on the weekend. I spend a lot for the LIRR and Metrocards too. Otherwise, during the week, aside from him going back and forth to work and picking me up at the station, we don't even go out during the week. So, what more can you really do...aside from going hybrid?



Its so ridiculous! We are seriously considering a hybrid for our next car. He's hoping for the casino at hard rock to open next year and then he's going to hopefully transfer.. so no more tolls!

I don't blame him. My FH's commute is about the same. He said he wouldn't mind taking the train, but there's really only one he could take in the morning and it's too late.

When it takes over $50 to fill a 12Gallon Honda Civic, there's a problem. I'm glad I don't like too far from where I teach and FH and I can actually commute together, but it's still stupid.



You're not kidding! I was just going to say, it doesn't really seem to matter at this point whether you have a car or truck.

I wish FH could take the train! He drives from Jersey to the Bronx everyday, oh yea, and then from there to Queens a few times a week. It's the worst because he can only come see me a few times a week bc of the commute.

I don't blame you. Oh, I'm not sure what your FH does. That's some commute. Hopefully that works out!
