Unless you have been living under a rock you realize that your weekly visit to the local gas station is really hurting you in the wallet. Gas where I live just hit $4.15 a gallon, and since I fill up the tank about once a week for fifty two weeks would come out to almost $4,000 a year!
Now we can debate about the reason for high gas prices, it could be the super secret screw American campaign masterminded by George Bush and Exxon Mobile. Or it could be those speculators on Wall Street. That everyone seems to blame, but no one has actually been able to explain how they are actually affecting the price of gas. Or it could be the 2 billion people in China and India that are becoming middle class and can afford their first car that takes gasoline. This is just a simple lesson in economics about supply and demand, but I digress…
Here is my solution to the high gas prices.
That’s right the Yamaha Vino 125, I think it gets somewhere between 80 and 100 MPG. It costs all of $1500 bucks, and if I put 3,000 miles on it, it will have paid for itself. Call me a hippie, a pretentions snob, or a hipster I don’t really care. I will be the one buying my gas 1.2 gallons at a time. How many gallons fit in your tank?
It’s about time…….glad to see your back, don’t let us down again.
