It's getting close. I'm about 50 or 60 cents away from either another vehicle purchase or to stilling my own bio-diesel in the back yard. It's not just affecting my normal driving either. It's affecting my off road and ATV fun too.

According to a couple of sources including AAA and the chairman of Houston-based Dune Energy, Alan Gaines, predictions are being made that the price for a gallon of gasoline will cost as much as $9.00 to $10.00 a gallon in the next two years. We're already seeing major jumps at the pump now, and I don't think we're even switched over to the so called summer blend yet.

I've caved in and bought the wife another motorcycle to commute on, (yeah, yeah, a GSXR 600 is not really a commuter bike), and we're already saving about a hundred bucks a week now that the GMC is parked. If things keep going the way they're going, I may be increasing my current cylinder count at home from 54 to 58 in the form of a hybrid or another motorcycle for myself.
