My 2005 just turned over 13K miles
1986 I bought a nice home in the Longfellow neighborhood for $57K. It was 3.8 miles to my downtown Minneapolis job. The last couple of years I was riding the cho cho train downtown. It's a half mile to the station. with $4 gas I mostly try to consolidate trips and use the bicycle for some short trips. I try to be aware of gas costs. Last week I had to go out to Bloomington. That was a one gallon round trip. If I get frustrated I can always blog about it at my http://fourfiftygas.com/ I topped off the tank at $3.89 today. In my Longfellow neighborhood real estate prices seem to be holding up pretty well.
