UMMM sorry, gas prices do not affect me but diesel fuel pricing is killing me but, man, seems to me if you really wanna wheel or especially join up into a club outing, meeting, run, etc I do not think fuel pricing will stop me! Other factors will like job requirements, ummm the wife and stuff like that may slow me down! :roll:

Yes and No....Yes I don't go as often as I like, and no because if the itch really does present itself I WILL GO OFFROADING!!!! Like this weekend when I leave for Moab, no cost of fuel will stop me, at least I think it won't stop me?!?!?!?!

I love offroading too much to stop regardless of price, but I'm looking at making some alterations in my daily commute (bus or bike) so that I can save more money for the offroad fuel fund :P

Gas is a concern, but the real limiting factor is time. Too much stuff going on to wheel as much as I would like. Once a month if I'm lucky is about all I make it to. June is not looking good for me at this point. Oh well, there's always July!

I'm lucky to have a company vehicle to go to and from work . The closest place to wheel is 145 miles away . I try to go there four or five times a year and colorado once a year.

I have talked myself out of going places several times lately then a later regret my decision. My work is only 3/4 of a mile from my house and Teresa is changing jobs next week and she will only drive 2 miles to work. So, we will not spend much at all during the week which means going on the weekend will not be a big deal.

We don't go out nearly as often as we used to, but maybe it is the heat.
Our Taco gets 11-12 mpg and the KJ gets 14... whoo hooo.

We would love to hit a trail in the East Valley is anyone is interested. I may allow the hubby to join in his Taco if that is ok with everyone.
