Default Pig in motion

got my Emego mirrors in on Tuesday and put them on, she is street legal once again, the clutch is still bent so no real hard riding, but she is back to her gas saving ways.

I just added my last tank of gas up and she got ...drum roll please...
36.8 miles per gallon

not bad considering mt jeep got 20 mpg on the indy trip, which is not hateful for a 4.0L

Ive yet to see any outages up here. Prices have started to drop slightly again from the spike up to $4 last week.

Same way with gas around here. Got off of work Friday and headed home up the interstate. Pulled off on to my exit and noticed one of the gas stations had gone from 3.63 for regular that morning to 4.29 and there was a freakin' line out to the street !!

I looked down and realized I had about 1/4 tank full and thought...humm...maybe I should get some fuel...went to a store closer to my house that has lower prices usually and there was a sign...NO GAS !!

Went to a third place and it was 4.09 but cash only...wtf !! I said f*ck it and went home and parked the Jeep until Sunday evening and then filled up for the work week.

I paid $3.61 a gallon in Indy for premium... It was a mistake though, the sign on the street said it was $4.10 or something like that.
