[RC] Fuel costs - heidi larson

There is a gal that does endurance in the Pacific NW and
her dad has been developing a brushless motor that is
supposedly has more torque than our truck motors.  Runs at
a much higher efficiency.  I know Mercedes looked at it at
one time, but it's stuck in the development stage and who
knows how long it will be stuck there!!  Too bad we
endurance riders can't be the Beta-testers!!!  Feel like
chiming in here Julie?

ps - I heard yest. that fuel will reach $5.00 per gallon by
this summer!  :(

Gotta love the oil market.

Looking into carpooling.  Would be nice to "hub" folks
with large trailers
who are willing to haul horses, so several folks with
smaller trailers
could meet up with them at a certain point, then divvy up
expenses for the
remainder of the journey.

We need hydrogen powered trucks...  I don't foresee
electric trucks
hauling what we haul...

With diesel now approaching $3 per gallon again, what
is everybody doing
to 
trim their costs in other areas (at least those that
aren't so well-off
that 
money does matter.....)?

Me,  I'm only doing multi-day rides where I can ride
both of my horses
and 
only haul one time.... (Granted it costs me approx.
$500 every time I
cancel my 
Sat load of riding lessons - So each ride costs me
almost a grand....
wew! 
Yep, very expensive sport!)
