I saved the cost of 80+ miles of gas to the Saltwater Edge by taking the RIPTA for a total of $3.20.
The experience was different.

Don't drive my 4 Runner over 60 mph. Cruise control all the way. I started coasting to stop signs. I've seen a huge difference in consumption. I used to get around 230 miles before the gas light. The other day I got 280 miles.

My friend and I alternate driving when we fish.

Won't be doing any Montauk trips, which is good anyway because it makes me fish my home waters more.

Started making my own plugs in the winter, which saves a ton.

Sold almost all of my beachmasters (except a few).

Drive my wife's pontiac sunfire more often when we go out.

Put the A/C on energy save mode.

That's about it. I think it is going to get far worse in the years to come. Wait till oil production starts to decrease, which some say will begin in the next 15 to 20 years. We will be seeing gas at over 10 dollars a gallon, not to mention more global conflict over oil resources.

running out of things to sell off and got the word today at work...business is down and effective next week all hourly employees will have no more than 35 hours per week. So we get one day off every week....well by my calculation thats only 32 hours a Week......

WTF!!!

EOQ revenue for alot of domestic companies appear to be lower than guidance. Expect more bad news the next few weeks.

Found a good solution for that one, give them 10 min then go in the cellar and turn off the hot water.

Works like magic.

Run the dishwasher and washing machine after 9pm and before 9am when rates are cheaper.

Run the dishwasher and do the laundry when my kid is taking his shower...
