As for bottled water, I hate it because it's a waste of plastic->oil, because it is overpriced, and because it tastes shit. I'd rather tapwater.
Used to. R1 and a old 87 GSXR. Have a Dyna now. I wish i had paid attention to gas mileage back then so I could compare it now.

I love the way tap water tastes, but I'm in a pretty good area for clean water. That or I like the way nasty shit tastes..... NO "mom" jokes. This is N&P and is very serious!!

We charge nearly two dollars for 16oz bottled water. We give away tap water free. I've had people complain to me because they ordered 'water', and I gave them free tap water instead of charging them for bottled water. These are generally the same people that are driving large SUVs.

It boggles my mind, I can't imagine how people can be that blatantly stupid. It's kind of reached a critical-mass point, I literally cannot lower my intelligence to the point where living like that, with the rising oil prices, makes any sort of twisted sense at all.

Over a year ago, I lost my car when it died rather nastily in a snow storm. I have not had a new vehicle since then, and though sometimes it gets awful tough, I've found that I don't *need* my own personal vehicle. I live in a semi-rural town that's damn near one hundred miles away from the nearest large city and I'm saying this. I'll admit that vehicles are needed, but if I can manage to scrounge up carpools among friends when necessary, I have a very hard time believing that we couldn't survive with, oh, one out of every ten or fifteen vehicles I see going by every day.
