I got rid of an SUV - listed it on craigslist and sold it the same day. Then I started sharing my daughters Neon with her. You have to keep a great scheduled calendar. Between her 2 days at college and 2 days at work, me - one day at class and I can walk to work (it is 1/2 block away), plus my 16 yo son takes classes on one day and all the dentist appts., doctor appts., zumba classes, grocery shopping, family get-togethers, etc., you have to have good planning. It has been 6 months, but has worked out well. We have split the cost of insurance and gas and it has been a win/win situation.

Carpooling is always the best bet to this. Find several friends whom you can get a ride with, or rotate yourselves who's turn it will be the next day and split on gas expenses. It can be done. I have seen it, never tried though...yet.
