Spoke with a friend and diesel is now $5/gallon in Paso Robles, CA. Got to be a gulp for the retirees and travelers using RVs with pusher diesels at 5mpg. A buck a mile just for fuel.

Looks to me like I'd better start offering gas money to the hourly household help or they'll eventually figure out public assistance that doesn't require a reliable vehicle is a far better deal than working.

Imp, have you ordered the Focus?
