I'm a college student paying my own way, and am by far too financially poor to consider buying a car, let alone worry over gasoline. Although I do divy up some cash for my friend who do drive (when we take road trips, etc), I stick to buses for the most part. I've got a very good grasp of mass-transit, and definately employee my special student perks with the bus systems. $54 USD for infinite bus/shuttle uses for an entire year! Huzzah!
