I misunderstood you i thought you were questioning it.

I LOVE my truck...but 5 Bucks a fucking gallon, Makes me think about other options.

The issue with me, Sometimes I get moved to Different stores...Right now its 16 Miles one way to work...I see the SixR getting ALOT of miles this year if they keep rising...Like I said even during the rain. I think the only time I'd drive the truck is if I needed to take people places or go to the store and couldnt fit what I was buying in my tailbag.

And If it was downright POURING then I'd drive the truck...Otherwise I'll take 36MPG over 13 Anyday...lol

Your thinking about other options does a lot more damage to the petrolium industry than low oil prices.

thats the trickle down effect, higher gas prices means fewer people traveling for vacations, companies passing on the higher costs to consumers for goods so people buy fewer or less of said goods.

How about we truly put our money and effort into moving beyond oil instead of putting a band-aid over the problem by drilling or mining shale.

My vehicles include my 15mpg truck, 20mpg car (that only takes premium) or 40mpg bike. I commute 50-70 miles per day. Guess what's about to start getting a lot more miles?

My wife and I are already talking about cancelling the trip we had planned for May, and it was only two states over. Of course, one of those states is Texas, but still...
