Gas prices affect your riding?

[Gone in 60]

There's talk from the CA governor about a possible relief payment to California car owners. Supposedly we're sitting on a big budget surplus, this would be a nice way to use it.

Regular was holding at $5.80 at my local station when I rode by this morning. I have a day off tomorrow, so I'm leaving the Baby Bike here at the shop and taking home the gas hog CB1100 so I can find some remote location to take my monthly photo challenge pictures.

Mrs. Gone and I are taking a long driving trip at the end of the month. To me, it feels more like a vacation if we rent a car, plus I won't worry about racking up miles on our old CRV. However, with crazy rental car prices right now, my only justification is renting something that gets much better mileage than the 26 average CRV. I told Mrs. Gone that we can rent a Toyota Yaris, which averages 40, for twice as much as the big, comfy Impala we rented for our last driving vacation.

She didn't like that idea very much...
