Has the price of gas pushed persons who live in Bluffton and work in Lima, Findlay or other area communities to seriously consider organizing car pools?

Recently Icon viewer Robert Demeelweek suggested carpooling's time has come. He did so in the following letter:

I think it would be of great interest to your readers to post a section for people who would like to car pool from Bluffton to Lima. My wife and I both work in Lima and would look forward to car pooling with other individuals that wish to save money on the high cost of gas.

His letter had an unusually high number of hits, leading The Icon to believe that interest exists for such a project. We applaud Mr. Demeelweek for stepping forward with the suggestion.

The Icon offers this forum for viewers to provide their thoughts on carpooling. For example, could The Icon become the agent to list persons interested in carpools?

What other ideas are out there? The Icon is interested in assisting in this project. Let's discuss it here.
