When the states lower the speed limits. Like Robb stated "People
aren't smart enough."
Most of my trips back and forth to work are on the service road these
days.

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.

Ignoring all the social upheaval, that will happen with $4 a

adventures? The Texas Classic (April 19 - 20), Nac (March 29),
Bulli Brigade (Nov 10), Busses Nowhere Near the Arch, T@P
<mailto: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 <mailto: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.
