High Gas Prices, Taking It In The Shorts



High Gas Prices, Taking It In The Shorts

It's getting close. I'm about 50 or 60 cents away from either another vehicle purchase or to stilling my own bio-diesel in the back yard. It's not just affecting my normal driving either. It's affecting my off road and ATV fun too.

As per a couple of sources including AAA and the chairman of Houston-based Dune Energy, Alan Gaines, predictions are being made that the price for a gallon of gasoline will cost as much as $9.00 to $10.00 a gallon in the next two years. We're already seeing major jumps at the pump now, and I don't think we're even switched over to the so called summer blend yet.

I've caved in and bought the wife another motorcycle to commute on, (yeah, yeah, a GSXR 600 is not really a commuter bike), and we're already saving about a hundred bucks a week now that the GMC is parked. If things keep going the way they're going, I may be increasing my current cylinder count at home from 54 to 58 in the form of a hybrid or another motorcycle for myself.
