It doesn't matter who's driving most of the time

When this venture started, there was this implicit need to be equal.  "OK, so if I drive M, W, F this week, you can drive M, W, F next week and things will be even".  Interestingly, we never really talked about that, but the thoughts were out there, at least in my head.

What we came to recognize within a few days was the fact that our commuting expenses ( which can be calculated by some really smart web apps) were being reduced by half.  Of course if Dale drives more, my expenses are further reduced, wink-wink.  But even so, Dale has significantly reduced his expense albeit to fund some of my savings.

What matters most - especially at the onset - is if there is a brake pedal on the passenger side of the commuting vehicle.  We all have a different mode of driving.  The person on the right will have a tendency to push on the floorboard more than once.
