Does anyone own any fuel efficient cars or working on any projects to fight gas prices? Post any ideas, the cheaper the better.

a cool bike project I found was

only problem is, it doesn't give a tremendous amount of detail, which for someone like me whose not much of a grease monkey would need a step by step.

the law is no protection
that motorcycle is pretty amazing. I would need a lot more detail too!

I live where I can take the subway to work and school so I usually do that. alternatively I ride a bike.

70 MPG on my bike. Good enough for now...

I wish I could pedal or walk to work, but I live about 25 miles from my job. :(

I'm buying a Triumph Bonneville! It's a new old British cycle. Look it up. Brand new is under USD$9k.
