ok, at this moment I have seen gas scattered as low as 3.09 all the way up to 3.39

But for some odd reason whenever I need to fill up my gas tank, I get stuck with something closer to the latter.... *sighs*

the 50 mile round trip to work would mean lets see, I would have to get up an hour and a half earlier (4am), and would get home an hour and a half later (7pm) I would need a good bike~ $1000. Plus its starting to be kind of cool up here in no-mans-land (springerville, az elev. ~7000 ft). Avoiding the 1200+ employees who are all trying to get to work at the same time might not be that much fun on the two lane road. And the 240 mile ride to Tucson might take me a day or two.

plus side I would be in great biking shape, not sure how it would translate to pole vaulting.

I think I'll keep my saturn..

haha...

TOTALLY uncreative!

Motorcycle? BUS? This country needs some better public transport!

(Of course... my two cents ;))
