In a similar veirn, an article from TomsDIspatch by way of AlterNet that tallies up some of the costs related to gasoline consumption, and comes up with a 'real' price of $15/gallon:
http://www.alternet.org/environment/147842/gas_is_really_costing_us_about_%2415_a_gallon/ Last weekend I was dinged $9 because I chose to come home by way of the Military Ridge trail, rather than say CTH M. I registered my protest with the 2 DNR offiicials who were stopping riders and hitting them up. "but how are we supposed to pay for the upkeep of these trails?" they asked. Good question. Anyway, I ended up paying about $2.50/mile for that stretch. Even if gas was $15/gal, the net cost of about 50 cents/mile is a real bargain. On Sun, Aug 15, 2010 at 3:37 AM, S.
