The Solution

July 21, 2008 in Blog with 6 Comments

I don’t know about where you live, but gas in Southern California is running about $4.50 a gallon. The vast majority of the driving that I do is in-town type stuff. Meeting here, lunch over there, visit this person and maybe a round of disc golf. My Ford Escort does really well on the freeway, but not in town so I thought I would make an adjustment.

How does 110 miles per gallon sound? That’s right 110. Meet my new ride…It’s a Genuine Roughhouse and it rocks. Not only do I kill on gas mileage, I have a blast everywhere I go and get some cool hair styles from my helmet.

I still need to figure out where to put my Ron Paul Revolution sticker.

    Be careful out there. That thing appears to only have a top speed of 30 MPH according to their website. We have some crazy and impatient drivers here even on the city streets.

    Okay…you’re gonna have to send me a picture with you on it because I just can’t picture it.

    $4.50/gal GEEEZ! I was whining about $3.89/gal
    We’re looking at homes that are within walking distance of the fire station and the YMCA to save gas.
