According to one local blogger whose name I'll keep secret, gasoline will hit the
$4.oo a gallon mark here in North Carolina this year. He claims access to info the rest of us may not have. I'm glad
my ride gets 100 miles per gallon. (More if I peddle.) Perhaps I could customize something for you? Or maybe you'd like to
buy the parts and build your own. I could put together a kit if you're interested.
2 cycle, 4 cycle, gasoline, electric, hybrids-- there's plenty of options available to those of you who know how to use your hands and for those who are less skilled, maybe a
scooter? An
electric bicycle? A
kit for your existing bicycle? These kits are really easy to install. If you can replace a tire on your bike you can install one of these kits on a
cruiser style bike. Installation on racing style bicycles and mountain bikes can be very difficult.
Okay, too lazy for all that?
Zap Electric Cars have been in production for years. Zap is also the American distributor for Smart Cars. Anyone want to help me become a dealer?
Maybe you need an
electric hybrid or fuel cell powered bus?
Got an old moped lying around? Maybe you just need
replacement moped parts
Of note: There are plenty more options sold online but not all are street legal. The links I've provided are street legal in all 50 US states. Also, many of the products mentioned have doubled in price in the last year and an upsurge in the cost of a gallon of gasoline could push the price up even more.
I added
Solar Hot Water to my home 25 years ago and trimmed $40.oo a month off my utility bills. Let's see, $40 a month times 12 months times 25 years equals... I'm no good at math, you figure it out.
This year my brother and I are hoping to add solar heat to our shop and a small wood stove for one room in my house. Heating just one room for free would cut my utilities by at least 20% as I live in a small home. The cool thing is we're building both out of junk thrown out by others and we've got more than enough scrap wood than to heat one room.
