gg.. I remember when my fuel efficient Neon (of the Dodge variety) used to get me everywhere I wanted to be for less than 40 bucks in gas a month.

Now it's like 25 bucks every 5-6 days or so.

You know Art, technically, the paths you want to use, such as the one from Cheshire to New Haven that I drive by almost every day have signs that say "no motor vehicles allowed".

Now, being on a hybrid propane gas/electric vehicle racing team in college has taught me the difference between a motor and an engine, and that apparently you can use your engine powered car/motorcyle on these paths but not your motor powered Segway if you take it to the letter of the law, and the definition as provided by Websters Dictionary of a motor and an engine.

But.. that's a whole other discussion now isn't it??
