I've been sorta hibernating. I just got a scangauge for Christmas... when gas dropped to $1.40.
I'd pretty much dropped into lurking mode while I waited for Christmas. I've done most of the mods I feel comfortable with not having any instrumentation. Now that I've got a scangauge, I need to tweak my driving style more and then come spring, I'll start modding again.

thinking as big as I can about this subject...

we are still under world average for gallons even at 3 bucks. The economy is crashed right now more than we don't get news of. The gas price is dropped temporarily to help the people...usa does not own the world of petroleum , no matter some big texans dream about doing so, or wherever big retarded thoughts come from in other u.s locations climbing to leadership in sprites of clanly glory declaring themselves knowledge of the world.

I got in to this when gas was really cheap and I'll stop when I stop using gas.
I like that there is less riff raff.

Yeah, there were a few people who thought they could suddenly pay less for gas just by posting "What should I do to use less fuel?" After getting answered that they actually have to change something, they stopped showing up.

Just like a Gym membership - new people stick around for a month or so - if they think it is to much "work" they stop going. Of all those new additions that joined at the peak - if 1 out of 5 stayed here and applied the concepts - that still is a HUGE impact on fuel consumption.

That's true. Spring fever / winter hibernation are probably factors too.
That's my reason for not as much activity. Not as much can be done in the winter. Can't wait to get the Celebrity back out.
