Josh Smith Online

I had the pleasure of being interviewed for an article appearing on Weather.com right now about carpooling.

People may carpool for different reasons, but financial considerations—fuel costs—are often a driving force. Josh Smith, 25, of Findlay, Ohio, regularly carpools about 20 miles to his job at Bluffton University. He’s the school’s advancement services manager, and in his spare time he is a blogger for www.walletpop.com. He began carpooling about the time gas first broached the $3 mark, after a casual conversation with a colleague at the school who happened to live in the same town. “Knowing that someone else who worked basically the same schedule lived really close by, we decided to cut our gas budgets in half,” he said.
