  • I parked my Dodge Dakota and bought a 1998 Honda Civic that gets between 34 and 38 MPG. This doubles the gas mileage I was getting before so I literally use half as much gas as before the change. I commute 46 miles a day and drive to Portland once a month for work so my gas savings is significant. -- Brent from Issaquah
  • Knowing what prices should be, what they are, what they used to be and that the oil companies are at record profits, we do not wish to continue to fill their pockets. I bought a bicycle and my husband got his bike down from the attic. -- Kitty from Olympia
  • I decided to Dump the Pump when I moved to Lewis County and realized I would have a 37-mile commute to work. My first step was to buy a fuel efficient car. My next step was to start enlisting people I work with to carpool. This meant changing schedules -- which also meant getting up earlier. My three co-workers who live in Chehalis agreed to get up a half-hour earlier and work a half-hour later each day so we could take advantage of a schedule which allows us to flex every other Monday. I’m also fortunate that my agency supports commute trip reduction efforts and recently started offering incentives to commuters. Dumping the Pump was one of the best things I’ve done. I can’t help but smile when I go PAST the gas station. -- Lynda from Lewis County
  • I sold my SUV and bought a Honda Civic and instead of going home everyday at lunch I bring my lunch to work. -- Kendra from Shelton
