And Hondas are dependable.
When we moved to Germany we got rid of our cars.
Almost 11 years without one.
It is 600 steps to my new grocery store. I put about 1,600 miles on my city bike. I have a transit pass that is about $60 per month. It covers bus, tram, Ubahn, Sbahn, and regional trains.
For our move and big purchases we now use a car share.
So I don't see a direct impact on fuel prices.
