Price of Gas...and Other Notes from the Road

For all of you on the East Coast who think gas prices are high there, let me say for the record that I have now paid $3.51 - $3.55/gallon (regular) for the last month. Apparently prices are even higher right in the city of San Francisco. I'll let you know once we hit $4.

The good news is that my Versa is very fuel-efficient. The bad news is that these West Coast peeps don't seem to be into the car pool thing at all. Every other car on the road out here is a Prius, but what good does that do if you're commuting 60 miles each way and refuse to sacrifice some independence and car pool? Just my crazy thought... I guess I miss the whole car pool experience too!

A couple other notes from driving out here:

1. There are speed bumps EVERYWHERE. Every single parking lot has them. Beware if you come and visit.

2. The drivers are mildly less aggressive than back in Boston and they never use their horns. I used mine once and felt like everyone stopped and stared.

Lastly, speaking of my car, I'll get a picture up at some point. I'm still waiting for my California plates. I guess DMVs operate at the same pace across the nation...
