LOL, I just moved from Oregon (no sales tax) to California (8% here) and I'm constantly getting a shock.
3.4 miles - to a quilt shop vs. staying in the hotel - I would walk if I couldn't find another mode of transport. But keeping the car sounds like the easiest solution, unless dh needs it during the day.
