How many "no drive" days did you have? Did you ride your bike, walk, or use public transportation?

6/9 We only drove to gymnastics and Barnes and Noble for a free event they had. Dh took the scooter to the grocery store later in the afternoon. (I'm counting the scooter as a means to save money on gas because it gets 125 mpg).

6/10 No driving at all! We rode our bikes, 18 miles roundtrip, to the downtown library for craft time.

My car has been parked all week with the exception of one trip to the grocery store on Sunday. A trip to pick us up because it was too cold to walk home on Tuesday. And then a trip to the next town over for gymnastics and our big shopping trip. It will stay at home tomorrow (Friday) and Saturday, we have to go out of town for a wedding.

Well - I haven't done as well as I'd like to with this.

6/9 - DH and I both had doctor's appointments, so we drove quite a bit.
6/10 - stayed home and baked (in 105 degree heat LOL!) DH a b-day cake and made homemade lasagna for him.
6/11 - DD to school, DS and I did errands, pick up DD from school
6/12 - a.m. - me to doctor; p.m., DD to final dance class (this will be a big gas saver for us now that's dance class is finished)
6/13 - our plan is to stay home.
