It's hard to believe, but a a $43 fill-up does seem to be boast-worthy these days.
And that's w/o the air conditioning!
Woot! $12.04!!!
But it is a lot harder to fall off a Miata than your Suzuki. ;)Quote:

I like mass transit backgrounds; they have a slimming (and whitening) effect. :DQuote:

So I can at least take solace in the fact that no FI means I still get to run regular (even with a mild timing bump...) Filled up yesterday for less than $40.
Yeah, baby!Quote:

I don't trust the drivers around Fort Worth enough to try a bicycle commute here, especially since it would be a long commute through some rough neighborhoods.
My experience in the North Dallas suburbs is that there are "corridors" where it is safe to ride your bike. In my case, I can easily bike between Plano Parkway on the South, Park Blvd on the North, US75 on the west, and Shiloh on the East. Within those boundaries are relatively bicycle-friendly roads with decent sidewalks and slower traffic. Also if you take 15th Street and cross US75 eventually you will reach a Greenbelt running from behind the On The Border on 15th all the way to near Legacy and Independence.
Hey, Cinzano!!!Quote:

I have not seen it, but I remember the previews for it on cable TV back when it was new.Quote:

I paid $4.30 a gallon yesterday on the way back from Pearsall, 55 bucks to fill up the Miatamoto mobile. We got right at 300 miles for a 13 gallon fill with a car completely loaded with stuff and a/c on. 23 MPG highway is not great, but surprisingly exactly what the EPA estimates.Quote:
