That would be me. We use a lot of gas outside of driving to work. For instance how many gallons of gas do you think was spent just for people to enjoy the Varsity Meet tonight? Anyway, I don't really think there is a way around this because the people that set these gas prices know us Americans can't live without it so pretty much we're at their knees. No one wants to lose their lifestyle so of course we suck it up and pay the gas prices; we enjoy burning gas for pleasure whether it's going to the mall, car meet, driving out of state for vacation .. whatever
