Cheap gas would be nice.
But it will most likely never be back. Maybe that is a good thing. That way the market can drive people to cars that get better mileage. As long as gas was cheap we were gonna keep driving behemoths. Myself I mostly gave up driving V-8's over ten years ago. Except for my '66 mustang I haven't owned one in that long. Because I like to drive fast. Not because gas. I figured if I didn't do something I would not have a license for long.
Now I drive 5 miles to work one way, 10 round trip. A year ago it was a 60 mile round trip. Plus I am making about 20% more now. Summer is here, so I can ride. But I don't pedal like you are talking about Gunnen. I worry more about my kid than myself. He is young, just starting, I know him and his girl friend live on the edge sometimes. But shit, that is what being young is for. Learning, and making mistakes.
