Welcome to the FourFiftyGas.com blog.

My place to comment and complain of the effects of high gas prices. Actually, I drive fewer than 3000 miles per year and my 2000 Ford Ranger four cylinder stick gets pretty good fuel economy. A consistent 22 MPG in town, maybe 20 MPG in the worst Minnesota cold and heat (AC). That said A lot of people I know are being badly hurt.

Mostly I drive slower, consolidate trips and use the bicycle for shorter trips. The bicycle is also exercise so that is good.
