Today's car usage - 6/19/08

Today we drove to the community center for PE, which is just under 3 miles away from us.

Walking would not have been an option given how far away it is, almost 6 miles round trip. E works from home on Tuesdays and Thursdays so if we only had one car, the car would have been here to use anyways. To take the bus, we would have taken us an hour to get there and cost $2.75; not a good option for us either.

I had to put gas in the truck today (it gets about 20 to 25 miles to the gallon), since I don't drive it that much I only put $10 in the tank. The $10 got me 2.283 gallons or 45.66 to 57.075 miles.

I'm starting to think looking into bikes might be a good idea...but how do you do that with a 3 year old. He is happy to ride a trike and I'm sure he would be willing to learn to ride a bike but I don't know if I could get him to do longer trips like todays.
