Sheila just ran some errands and the gas prices are at $3.49 per gallon. I think we will have to sell one car to fill the other, lol, take out a loan to fill the tank. Pump and runs are happening here they are saying.
I wonder how long this will go on? We should go back to horse and buggies for local travel. Bikes too. Public transportation. Anything!

I am going to trade my car in for a mule and a goat, that way I won't even have to put gas in my lawn mower either.
I hear some places the gas prices are over $6.00!!!
I doubt that I could even sell my old car right now. I wish I could afford a motorcycle.
How far can you go on $8.00?
Just be very careful.

Laurie

132 miles before I hit the reserve tank! That's if I top off good! I can see you trying hold onto the mule! You realize that you would probably end up pulling the stubborn thing rather than riding it? lol Of course that's great exercise if you don't kill yourself trying! phew!

I think it would be easier to pull a mule than to push a car. I would dangle a feed bag in front of him!

we are paying $NZ 1.53 a litre for 91 octane, that works out to about $US 4.09 a gallon. Its gone up so much that I would do away with the car altogether and just use public transport but there is no other way to get to where I work.

It's going to keep going up I am afraid. People will have to start share ride types of set ups.

Yes, Sheila and I have talked about selling the older car and buying motorcycles too.
Lesli said earlier in this thread it only costs her $8.00 to fill up and she can go 300 or so miles on a tank of gas. (On her motorcycle)
I hope all is well with you and ~S~.

I do share rides with my extra helmet, only pretty women though! It was amazing to see the looks on peoples faces at the pump. I had to put $10 in my bike. Thank god its going to be beautiful weather in the next seven days. My car is staying parked in the drive! $3.59 here per gal. Amazing to see people pay $3 or more for espresso coffee at Starbucks too...
