take the bus to work, grocery store is a 3-minute walk, movie theater and a shopping center is a 10-minute walk, my girl lives about 4 miles from me and most of the time, she comes over right after work so i don't even have to go pick her up. so, if i don't make up a meaningless reason to go to a local mall every now and then, i barely even drive. and yet, i managed to put almost 1,800 miles in my car in only 3.5 months. needless to say, i go to the mall a lot
