$4.02 a GALLON!!!!

The plan, as it stands now, is to travel cross country in our 1992 Land Rover, Range Rover name "Cheeks" to Glacier National Park! Doesn't that sound like a ton of fun? We certainly think it sounds like fun! But as many of you will have already discerned from the title to this post, it is starting to look like not such a good idea. I mean at this point - the point where gas costs over four dollars a gallon - you start to rethink such an ambitious, three week, driving cross country plan.

That is why I am in no rush to buy a car. Perhaps a moped? Nah, I'm going with the old shoe-leather express for the time being. Thanks for having this blog. Made me remember my defunct one which I shall now ressurect! Muhahaha. Btw, does a kilt count as "cowboy casual"?

So now the plan is to drive a Series II across country, no? At least you only have to pay for gas one way!

Let's see, 3,000 miles (assuming you don't take too many detours) at 12 miles per gallon (average for a petrol Series truck) is 250 gallons.

Even at $4/gallon, it's probably a little cheaper than flying, and a hell of a lot more fun!
