This years gas out will work out as well as last years. California's gas
prices didn't fluxuate in the least. People still drive all the
behemouth 4WD gas guzzlin' monsters. I of course am just as guilty,
never carpooling (I work very strange hours, but that ain't no excuse)
My Toyota PU get 25 to the gallon, the van 20 or so...
I really hate useless demonstrations of global unity. Save your energy,
and pedal the bike. Or... my gosh, take the bus or train... what an
idea.
