Here in Honduras, gas has been over two dollars a gallon for several
years. Right now it is at $3.11 cents a gallon (and minimum monthly
wage for Hondurans is 2,200 Lempira or $122). I walk everywhere in
the downtown area where I live. I may take a 75 cent cab ride home if
it is pouring rain or I havea lot of groceries. I ride the schoolbus
into work with the kids in the morning and take it home in the
evening. We don't move our car except to go to the lake. If I need to
go shopping in San Pedro Sula or Tegucigalpa, I take the bus into the
city $10 round trip - much less than I would spend on gas and parking
fees!
