Got Sauce?

wow that is a funny movie poster. I will watch it when I have time. It should be a rehearsal of what is to come

I see dead people on Westheimer, people shooting each other over a gallon of gas. Himmm, where would I be then, and what would I be doing?

LOL

Traffic is definitely lighter since spring break. The real test will be this fall once we fall back off daylight savings time.

My mileage has improved 10% over the last few months since I can now drive 65 the whole way to work. My breaking point long term is about $6-7/gal and at that point I'll most likely pull a "John Gault".

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('misterno', 'A')re you guys crazy? If gas becomes $10/gl then ethanol will be like $7-8/gl and that means corn, wheat and every other food will cost us 5 times more.

Do you want people to starve?

It's hard to talk of a "tipping point" because at $4 stuff is happening already:

truckers going broke --> less stuff on shelves
airlines woes --> costlier tickets --> less air travel
overall company difficulties --> less producion --> recession

etc. While $4 may still look cheap (and it is, I pay ~$8 here), we may be tipping over already.

After it tips, it still takes a while to reach the floor

My old S-10 pickup gets 29 MPG with boring regularity. Don't think I want one of those Fiats.

...and it would be quite the sight watching you haul around 8 people in it. (9 passenger van)

[RSB]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Jack', 'Y')es, actually.

I've been looking forward to a mass dieoff of humankind, particularly those in the third world, for quite some time.

Pleased to make your acquaintance JT.

WRT old pickup trucks and fuel efficiency, y'all would be surprised. Not all of those trucks weighed 4000lbs had giant V8s in them. Mine had a little slant 6 and if one just cruised at the (then) legal speed limit of 55 or less even, one could get surprisingly good milage. Still wish I could have snagged my uncle's 1976. It was a good little truck and I liked it a helluva lot better than any of the subsequent models he purchased.

Thursday, the worst commuting day in LA.

I left home at 7:45 and clocked in to work at 8:43, under 1 hour for a 50 mile commute at rush hour.

As we get back on topic, yes, traffic is significantly lighter out there. I can't wait to see what it's like once school gets out. That's the other time of year when I usually see a dramatic shift.

I also got some very good news today in that the company has narrowed it's relocation choices to the final three, and they are all closer to my home. One of them will cut my commute in half.
