Except time. Lots and lots of time.

You can save even more gas by carpooling. Doesn't waste any time, and
doubles your gas mileage just by adding one extra person who would
otherwise have used his car.

Let's stick it to the greedy oil companies! Take 4 or 5 people with you to
work!!! Forward this to everybody you know !!!!!!!!!

Carpooling is only a "no-time" option if you're living with the person
you're carpooling with. And you need to be at work at the exact same
time they do. My wife and I don't even meet that second requirement
(even though I'm a professor and she's a grad student in the same
department at the same university).

When I see that last exclamation, I've got a pretty good clue I don't
want to send the message to *anyone* I know, since the next package I
received from them would likely be ticking.

You cradle-robber, you.

there is a basic time chart in drivers ed class work time > speed and you
will find the time difference is very little

I suppose in my own defense I should mention that we were married
before I went to work at NMSU 23 years ago, and (of course) also
before she went back to school...

Let's see, Albuquerque is 220 miles away from here. At 80 mph that's
about two hours, 45 minutes. At 55 it's four hours.

Being an engineering alumnus of NMSU, I feel qualified to do the
math :-) 220 miles at 55MPH and 30 MPG uses 7.33 gallons of gas. 220
miles at 80MPH and 24 MPG (using Philty's 20% savings factor) is 9.17
gallons. So the extra fuel is about 1.84 gallons, which is less than
$6.00 at today's prices. 1.25 hours of my time is worth more than
$6.00 to me, so I'm with Joe....I'll do the 80 MPH route. That's only
5 over the speed limit on I-25, you won't even get a ticket for
that :-) You would likely, however, get run over at 55 MPH.
