pegmac Champion Author Nova Scotia Posts:1,116 Points:205,095 Joined:Jul 2006	Message Posted: Aug 6, 2006 11:10:19 AM Ignore pegmac Report Abuse Yes definitely and it has figured into my decision to retire this year.Living in a rural area means no public transportation and a salary increase of 2.9% would not even cover the increase in my fuel costs to travel to and from work.I only drive when I have to go to an urban area and shop for groceries and then I fill up my tank. I am trying to cut down my trips by planning my shopping to be done once weekly or less.
