[84mpg]

Filled up at Sam's yesterday for $2.85. (McKinney TX)

My Sam’s here in Bham was $3.05 a couple days ago. Yesterday I saw two Raceways with $2.99. I was beginning to think we’d never see below $3.

Yeah, I gotcha…. I figured as much. Since this is a non-political forum - I’ll try to be a good boy, and refrain from further comment.

still in the high threes here, not enough drop to make me think about stopping car pooling yet. Diesel still over 5.
If it goes up over 6 (and it will) I will start taking my daughters kawasaki to work.

Prior to retirement, I commuted for several years on my Yamaha. In addition to getting 55mpg, I could use the HOV lane (alone). My state allowed motorcycle riders to use the HOV/Carpool lane without a passenger. I made GREAT time during my commute.
It appears that Kawasaki is a 125cc, I'm guessing 70-75mpg?? In hindsight, I should have purchased a 300cc (or lower) for commuting, I really didn't need the speed or power of a 600cc engine. I did find my Yamaha to be quite comfortable for commuting, though.

Yes, that's a K125, she just bought it in June, supposed to get 85 mpg, but 75 is more likely. Only has a 1 gallon tank and no reserve, but does have a gas gauge... But I could commute all week (250 miles) on 4 gallons and have some left over. I have done this in the last gas crisis in the 70's, bought a 250cc single cylinder Kawasaki (250LTD) and used that all year, winter , rain and all. That got close to 80 mpg back then.
