Bicycles, that's the answer
Now I will have to get in shape. How long do you think it would take to ride 43 miles to work in the morning?
By the way, with my 3:42's, MN6, cruise at 70 (1550 RPM) yields 30 MPG
Now I just have to head for work at 3 AM so I don't hit any traffic!!!!!!!!
This SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUKS

I don't think I can afford the gas
Seriously, I haven't been home for 2 weekends and really have lost control of my yard. You've seen the magnitude. Don't think I can make it. I will make the final call on Saturday night.
Also there is a Corvette challenge at E-town Saturday
Too many things to do and not enough time!!!!!!!

I wouldn't worry about the price per gallon, what I'd be worrying about is getting gas at all. How long before we run out. They only got one refinery going now. We have a 6 month supply of oil, but no way to refine it.
No matter what gas cost, we're still going to buy it. Selling your trucks isn't going to help, you will just take a bath in the loss. Cheaper to keep any cars you have, just don't drive as often.
As for me, I'm still planning cruises and stuff, if I'm by myself, oh well, I'll be the one having fun.

Should have filled it some stations don't have gas here and i have seen stations here that are over $4 a gallon with a line of cars wating for it.
It should ease up after the weekend i hope.

Filled up the beater at Chevron for 3.19 and felt like I was getting a deal (still cost $70). Gas costs so much in UK, Europe, and Canada due to taxes and the socialized medicine system in those countries. Speaking only for myself as a self employed person with no employees (therefore inelegible for "group" insurance) I wouldn't mind paying $6 a gal. if I could go to the Dr. for free. Paying it all to Exxon is BS 'cause they won't fix my teeth.
