They are predicting approx $1.50 canadian per liter here this summer, Do you plan on changing driving habits for the increased fuel costs?

My only changes will be to try and use the wifes corolla a little more , but it will in no way affect my recreation time with my beast.
 
Eh, maybe fix my moms old fiat and drive that around, but just get my friends that ride with me to chip in on gas like they usually do when we wheel.

Lol.. my daily driver is a KIA, I get 30~35, so It will be a little impact. Although, the camping and wheeling will be a little more expensive..

I did read a review in petersons or 4x4 mag about that IL 6 Bolt on Turbo Charger improving fuel ecomony.. Maybe use that as an excuse..
 
I don't drive very much to begin with - and my wife drives a 2005 Verona (~28mpg overall. 2.5L I6, jammed in sidewise, but still driven by a chain!)

Maybe plan a trip to SA again - or Venezuela, to renegotiate oil prices. This is getting stupid... Where'd I put my passport?

I know - but every time I think about getting a commuter bike (I'd really like one of those Diesel bikes!) I think about how people drive out here. Then, my mind starts working in the other direction. Know where I can score an M2 Bradley on the surplus market?
 
What am I gonna do? I'm gonna keep bitching about fuel prices, keep fueling up my truck and all my toys, and continue to enjoy my hobbies which are ALL motorsports related.

I'm gonna start siphoning from all your guys' tanks! haha

Seriously though, not even gas prices are gonna stop me from rally season!

For the record, I paid $4/gal down here in the desert in SoCal during Tierra Del Sol, spendy!

X5 !!! And I might even replace my leaking lift pump in my PSD----:D
 
Just set up my Summer plans due to Gas and other changes of life...

Get rid of the BMW.

Sell the Bike. Have not rode enough in the last two years to warrant holding on to it.

Park the Jeep. NWFest is out. Wife would be 8 months pregnant, and it would be great for Josh and I to get out alone. But, don't think I want to spend that gas cash. We shall see.

Purchase a 2008 Chev Aveo. Cuts my insurance rates and my Gas in over half. More than makes up for the Car Payment.
 
I'm going to finally rebuild my CBR (had a little boo boo last August)and use that as much as i can.
