How much would you be willing to pay?
 

How much would you be willing to pay for gas before trying to find alternate modes of transportation to work, school, etc?

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

You know everyone here would pay $28/gallon or more. Anyone who says they'd "bike to work" instead of paying to drive is a friggin liar.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I don't work in the formal sense of a 9 to 5 job...
I don't go to school...
The Yellow 3 is my only form of personal vehicle i can tell you about.
Cabs are to expensive...
I do use the local rail syatem to go to the VA Hosp but i must drive
to the south end of the line to grab the rail...

I guess as long as fuel is lower then a cab i'll drive

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I drive 60 miles a day to and from work...but I drive my BMW 528 (22mpg). Does that fit the definition of "alternate mode", Jamie? :D

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I drive about a total of 5 miles every day, our office is close to home. So aint no way in hell am I going to ride a bike to work...my wife and I work together, but drive separately due to she has to pick up the kiddo from school and i have appointments.....I get 10.9MPG on the hummer and she gets 12MPG on her trailblazer....really not much difference...

The way I figure it, if gas goes to 5 bucks a gallon or what ever, the resale of my hummer is in the toilet...so I am stuck paying the freight so to speak....

Tower, was the second post for the bike ride home? :giggling:

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

If you took 6-8 inches off that belly you'd be able to see the pedals. Work on it, man!

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

TT gets almost 30mpg so it would have to be pretty high if I'm willing to pay 3 miles per dollar on the H2.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I should say so:beerchug: I recently sold my 5 series (530i) and I miss it!

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I also live pretty close to base, so mileage to work is not a problem. I would bike to work, but I love the lux of having all my stuff in the Hummer if I need it.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

Huh?

What area is an Alte Native from?:p

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

try fillin' up in Belgium... But, I'd NEVER trade in my Hummer !!
Plus, I drive on LPG, half the price of regular gas !! :jump: :fdance:

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I too have been looking to get closer to work. my wife and I could use the exercise of doing some walking and or biking. I have 40 of them hanging in my garage. I would already be riding my bike if it wasn't a sucide run on the roads leading to work. if I could come in from the other side it wouldn't be near as bad.

You either have a large family or are a sick puppy !!!:beerchug:

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

no I'm an old school bicycle rider. I can't find enough stuff in the guis of real road bikes hardly any more. the stuff I have would be considered antquie by most standards even my carbon fiber stuff. the biggest thing I still collect is the really tall frames. I have stuff for guys in the 6'6" to 7' range in real old stuff. I also have a bunch of odd brand banana seat bikes.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

Did you ever do any serious road racing? I'm into the bikes. I currently have a Trek 1500 SLR. Its a 53. You can't even hear it coming down the road as with most bikes. I am planning to do the MS 150 in June over in Texas if possible. I try to ride a good bit when family and work allow. :excited:

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I don't think there's really a limit. I work from home, any trips out are strictly for errands and shopping, sometimes to take the boy places. I already limit myself to one tank a month or $75, whichever comes first. If gas went to $10/gal, well, I'd just do a little less driving then. But I'd never sell the H2. Never.

WHOOOAH...there Stacy! I never said anything about SELLING the HUmmer. I'd never sell. If I could not afford the gas, It would become a yard deco piece.:)

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

whew I wish I could go one tank a month...I usually do three to four tanks a month, just depends if I am out on the road or in the office.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I put the 3 in the shop Friday and they gave me a Tahoe LOANER...

DAM, it took $70 worth of gas...I can remember my parents house payment in the early 60's being $43 a month...boy do times change

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

never can tell where a thread will go....

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

as of now I haven't been on the seat in some time. my buddy has started doing triathalons and I have been doing his bike for him. its a low line Trek. I have some better bikes for him but I figure he has to work his way up for the boat anchor.
I have a real nice Motobacane that just needs a freshening up that is just his size( He's about 5'5) so he needs a low profile frame. the trek he's on now is about 2" too high but he made it through the season on it.



as for more ideas to save gas? I have two 60"+ skateboards if anyones up to the challenge?

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

Where does the ride start? I might be interested in that. I'm planning to do the Hotter than Hell 100 too.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

alright guys ims ick of the gas prices and they are expensive but! but but but!

look at it in this comparison, you pay about 3-4 bucks for a gallon of bottled water, when you could get it out of your sink! and in this comparison, at a restaurant you apya bout a buck 80 for a glass of soda, where it would take a bunch of those to equal a gallon, which is much much much more than any gallon of gas.

Re: How much would you be willing to pay?
 

I still say you'd all pay it, doesn't matter the price.

I was in Italy last week. Beers were $13.50/bottle. Did that keep me from drinking at dinner? I think not.
