As anyone who uses a car as their main form of transportation has noticed, gas prices have recently become annoyingly high. Factors from the pandemic to ransomware attacks have contributed to the recent price increase. However, believe it or not, there are more ways to get around town besides driving. Here are seven ways, expertly curated by the Alternate Universe team, to avoid those pesky high prices.

1. Ride a unicycle! Be honest, it’s just sitting in your parents basement from the two weeks you thought it would be cool in high school. Put that forgotten hobby to use! (Please wear a helmet, especially if you haven’t thought about unicycles since your attempted promposal junior year.)

2. Get your roommate to drive you everywhere. It’s the least they can do after you set them up with your newly 16 old cousin when they didn’t have anyone to ask on that group date last month.

3. Use a pogo stick (see number 1).

4. Throw it back to your mission days and right a bike! Bonus points if you ride a tandem to let all the cuties in your singles ward know you can provide for them as well.

5. Refine your own oil. It can’t be that hard, right? There’s got to be a WikiHow article.

6. Flirt your way into dates you can sneakily do your errands on. Nothing says romance like shopping for groceries together, and if you’re lucky your date will buy them for you!

7. Catch a ride on the Cosmo express, that’s right, Cosmo the cougar will now be offering rides around campus. You can flag him down by waving a fresh cougar tail (the donut variety) in the air. (Please do not attempt to ride actual cougars.)
