$4 gal. should sell scoots in California!
« on: February 22, 2019, 05:55:41 PM »
I was thinking if gas prices would go that high again here in Ohio ($2.17 at my station this morning) it should sell a lot more scooters in this State!

Then I thought , you know what - I couldn't care less if anyone else in Ohio rides a scooter - I have one, and love it!
The 2 or 3 I see every couple of years are plenty.

I see a lot of scooters here in Texas everyday.   They even have a little scooter club where everyone gets together for rides.   Never cared too much about gas prices seeing how I need to use it anyways.    Still with them being low right now, I love it.

Gas prices have dropped quite a bit here in the Peoples Republic of Cailfornia. I paid $3.30 per gallon the other day. $4.00 is normally just a Tuesday.

LidoCaine,
Always meant to ask you....are you the guy who stole The Scream 25 yrs ago this month in Oslo?
Nobody reads scooter forums - you can tell me....the PRC has no extradition treaty with the USA (any connection with the Stewart Gardner deal 29 yrs ago in Boston??)

No idea, never seen that program.
So, you know nothing about the Stewart heist?

We would like to see gas go for anything less than a dollar US per gallon! It acually is $0.04/gal in today's gold equivalent. Funny money inflation and all, you know.
