Yeah, sadly gas prices are crazy all over right now its $3.22 here and expected to go up more especially by summer to close to $4. I know its higher other places but for my small town thats pretty high. No wonder the oil companies are making record profits.
And there's honestly no reason for it other than speculation.
I almost bought a scooter last year. I just may this year. They have Vespa ones that get 100 miles per gallon. That would work great for me in town.
