In central Wisconsin regular unleaded is currently selling for $1.99

The price has gone up a nickle in as many days and I'm sure by the time Memorial Week-end arrives we'll be looking at much higher gas prices.

I drive a Ford Escape which gets good mileage but both my husband and I ride our mountain bikes for commutes around town. Hubby rides to work at least three days a week and encourages other people at work to do the same. I use my mountain bike for quick trips to the store or the library - we replaced the nobby tires with Hutchinson Rock & Road tires. It has made a huge difference in city commuting as you don't scrub off speed. The Hutchinson's are also good for riding the Rail Trails (crushed granite etc).
