lucky for me 2 things. 1. I drive VW's that get great gas mileage. :) 2. ride the bike to work m-f as training, saves gas.

its a wonder why we even bumped the speed limit up,, go firgure we seem to be such a wasting away form of life. faster is not better

cracks me up the people that Zip all around the roads going no-where.

If it doubled tomorrow, to around $3.50 a gallon, wonder how long it would take before we were all driving the same amount as now?
