[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 170358, member: 1550"] I already have a Ford Escort (ten year old car--hub is a car mechanic...lol). It gets 33 mpg, at least. Car trips are minimized. Lots of bike riding and walking. Son will not get license until eighteen--he doesn't care and we don't need the extra insurance for an underage boy plus the extra gas. I shop at Aldis for almost everything, am thinking of starting a garden. I want to buy a scooter with our tax refund next year--100 mpg--they are going like hotcakes here. I can't ride it when it snows, but can dress up warm at all other times. We have fans all over the house. No a/c so far this year. We are saving it for 85 plus days only. Planning early for winter: We are going to put plastic over the windows and shove blankets under the doors, then, during the day, turn the thermostat down to 55% (to avoid frozen pipes). We will shut the doors of the unusued rooms and I'll have a few electric heaters on during the day. I'm the only one here and my house is small--it will work. At night heat will go on to about 66. I anticipate that heating bills will soar this year and want to be prepared. We are vacationing near home. [/QUOTE]
