Re: Will $4 gas kill Psycoblooie?To: tcb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx are coming to the Nac
show in Emily's Cabrio. It gets 28 mpg compared to the Vanagon at 18-19mpg or
the chevy truck at 16mpg. Sorry I won't be there in the Vanagon to support the
TCB but we will be there with our TCB shirts on. On the plus side, I can't buy
a lot of parts to bring home either because she won't let me put "dirty" stuff
in the trunk.sammie smith <bugcollections@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote:
Oh how the world changes. When I was in college as an undergrad I commuted 60
miles round trip every day 5 days a week. Had a new 61 VW and budgeted $2 per
week for gas. 31-33 miles per gallon and gas cost 17 cents per gallon. It
cost me about $1.70 per week to commute and left 30 cents for gas to play
around on the weekend.
Last summer I trailered the Aussie car to the funfest show in IL and then came
home and trailered the Bakery Bus to the Cal Classic the following weekend. In
approximately 12 days time we ran through almost $1,300 for just gas.
There are not going to be many trailered shows for me this year. That tow
truck just sucks too much gas and I am trying to really budget my driving. And
I agree with Will. How high does gas have to get before people get the message
to slow down and drive less?
But everyone plan on coming to Nacogdoches for the show before gas prices go up
for the rest of the year.Denis Dodson <coocoo@xxxxxxx> wrote:
Ignoring all the social upheaval, that will happen with $4 a gallon gas, what
will it do to the good shows that are travel adventures? The Texas Classic
(April 19 - 20), Nac (March 29), Bulli Brigade (Nov 10), Busses Nowhere Near
the Arch, T@P all require lots of travel for me. The only ones I will be able
to cheaply attend are Eureka Springs and Psycoblooie.
If I bring Murray on the trailer (and you all will, eventually need the
trailer) I get 17MPG. T@P is 470 miles one way.940 miles round trip. What will
that cost at $4 a gallon? Last time I checked Murray he got 24.7 miles
I am depressed.
