Thanks, Jim! If we have to use gasoline, at least use it wisely!

I'm retired, so I don't need to go many places. I don't own a car; I drive a 2016 Piaggio 350cc scooter. It gets 70mpg; with a trunk I can carry two full grocery bags. It will cruise it up to 90mph on the freeway, but I use it for day trips into the foothills and mountains, and occasional camping here in Colorado. If I ever need a car, there's an Enterprise rental office just 1.5 miles away, and they can pick me up. Colorado winters tend to be dry and sunny, so I just add layers and turn on heated grips, unless it's snowy, which never lasts long (except for 2023).
