We've seen prices $4.39, with diesel over $5 - really bad for us. Our food prices are high because most is shipped in, with the higher fuel prices, the grocery bills will be climbing soon as well. I finally found a safe "trail" to run on - but I have to drive a little over 10 miles to get there, and no I can't ride my bike there .... I find myself thinking at least twice before driving anywhere anymore, and trying to combine errands and such as much as possible. I'm getting about 17-18 MPG, so not too great.

Hey Chenille, glad you found a good trail. I love running on a trail especially when my legs feel tired of pounding the pavement. Too bad you can't ride there. I wouldn't bike to the trails I run either. The roads are not bike friendly with narrow lanes and fast cars. Sorry to hear about the leg problems jules. The bike is a good low impact alternative until your better. And the weather over there is suppose to be wonderful in the summer! That's why airfare doubles in the summer months for the flights to England. By the way the inlaws will be arriving here Mon to stay for a couple of weeks. I'll tell them to leave the weather behind. But then again they usually come over here in summer and melt so some cool rain might feel good.
