No, I didn't fill up yesterday. I gave up our second vehicle a year and a half ago to save money. I've been bike commuting to work for over 3 years now (or taking the bus when I'm injured/unmotivated) so I'm definitely not using as much gas. Hopefully more people can do the same.
I'm with you. I've started biking to work and taking the bus when its raining/cold. I've also started biking to the grocery store and carrying the groceries home in my backpack. It's certainly not as easy as taking the car and I can't get as much in one trip, but I enjoy the exercise. The only time I use the car is if I can't get easily get to where I'm going using public transit. It's been about 3 months since I've filled up with gas now. I used to fill up about 3-4 times a month.
