my jeep is parked

I have both bikes in use

any car errands will be done once a week in one trip

have to change the way we do things

save money on other things too - if all the groceries I can buy are what fits in my backpack for the bike ride home, I'll buy less junk

and my bike helmet is of course Winged Victory...

westchamp, i am with you on this one. last summer i found a yamaha razz in my grandpa's barn after he passed away. it did not run, i replaced the fuel petcock, clean the carb up, and put a new battery in it and it runs great. this is what i run around on when weather permitting. it gets 60mpg but only does 30mph. i plan on to open it up some with a big bore kit and regear it i am hoping to get it up to 40mph. Next summer repaint it blue with a winged hemlet all around the panels under the seat

I paid $3.789/gallon for premium on Tuesday. I can't believe the numbers you guys are throwing out, though. I thought the cost of the living in the Midwest was supposed to be lower.

Went to the Sandusky area yesterday and t was $4.19/gal for regular. Today in Columbus, I saw it from $3.87 - $3.99/gallon.
 
I remember a time long, long ago when I lived in Michigan I refused to pay for gas when it was over $1/gallon! UGH!!!! Those were the days!

The price of gas has nearly tripled in the last 8 years.

I'm betting you've saved a lot of money not going out on dates since you started riding that around town.

don't remind me, i dont even have a car right now to go out on a date with even if i wanted to pay the gas. i snapped a camshaft literally 3 hours after my last final. i was sooooo pissed, it as ruined my summer. i currently have a set of rebuilt heads on order and there is no telling when i will get them

I love it!

That is something that I want!

Sorry about your camshaft by the way - that has to be pricey as well as inconvenient

I like his folksy delivery and what he says certainly makes sense.  We should definitely be ramping up the pursuit of alternative fuels but if we continue to let the speculators artificially drive up costs of oil, how long before they're allowed to do the same with natural gas or even wind?  He also uses oil usage/dependency figures that compare 1970 to 2008, showing a big increase in usage over those years.  Of course, the US population in 1970 was 200+M and in 2008 it's 300+M, a direct corrolation to the oil usage increases he shows on his charts but doesn't mention.  More people, more businesses, more freeways, more cars, more gas.
 
The problem is this is big business, maybe the biggest.  If you want answers to why we aren't doing these things just follow the cash.  And this is not just an issue with the Middle East.  According to the Dept. of Energy, here are (in order) our biggest suppliers of oil:
 
1. Canada
2. Mexico
3. Saudi Arabia
4. Venezuela
5. Nigeria
6. Angola
7. Iraq
8. Algeria
9. United Kingdom
10. Brazil
 
Hmm.  Only 2 are Middle Eastern countries (3 if you consider Algeria).  Technically, we should be bombing Canada and Mexico.  Actually, we can take on Mexico with slingshots.

I read that gas is up to $5/per gallon in some places of CA.  Is that true?

Your list appears to be off of 2007 totals.  Here's the 2008 totals through May:

CANADA
SAUDI ARABIA
MEXICO
VENEZUELA
NIGERIA
IRAQ
ANGOLA
ALGERIA
BRAZIL

COLOMBIA
ECUADOR
RUSSIA
LIBYA
EQUATORIAL GUINEA
 
Kuwait moves into the Top 10 and the UK falls out of the Top 15.
