Hi Virgil, My truck gets 10 mpg too. I recently replaced my car, which also got 10 mpg, with a mini bike that gets about 70 mpg. In the last 5 months I have put 5800 miles on the bike and only 500 on the truck, saving enough gas to cover the payments and insurance on the bike. In a year and a half I will have the bike paid off, then I will be getting ahead on gas. However, if it is really raining, or very cold, this solution is a little *too* "green". Not to mention the car drivers who try to run over bikers. Yikes! For a nut and bolt run, this does the job. -- Regards, Pete http://pete-theisen.com/ http://elect-pete-theisen.com/ _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
