Four dollar gas. Sounds downright Continental. Too bad that does nothing for me. Well, the ol Vgo is getting 46mpg+ under all circumstances now, so it doesn't hurt so bad. It is kinda weird to see double digits when filling up the ol' girl though.

Gas prices are making for strange behavior. Yesterday, going home from work, I got stuck behind a guy in his big ol' V8 truck. He was driving like a granny to, I guess, squeeze a few more miles out of a gallon. I have observed this in a variety of gas guzzlers. Rather comical actually. The guy yesterday, though, was pretty pathetic. You have to go fast enough for it to shift up into the highest gear to get better mileage.

The Virago doesn't care much; burns at about the same rate fast or slow. Steady 60mph with little stopping and she approaches 50mpg. I got tired of granny and had to double yellow pass. 20 to 70 in a hiccup. Doesn't really make any time difference, but at least I didn't have to stare at the backside of that thing any longer than necessary.
