The Dark Side of OFF THE GRID: Honda Generators and Portable Gas Cans – Curry Up Now
Thursday, April 4th, 2013If Bikes in San Francisco Were Required to Have License Plates, This is What It Would Look Like – A Gas-Powered Bike
Thursday, February 14th, 2013What’s this, a motorized bicycle?
I wouldn’t park this rig in Civic Center and just walk away, what with its exposed gasoline tank and whatnot, but that’s just me:

The Chevron Gas Pumps You Sit Right Next To At That McDonalds at 2nd and Market in the Financial District
Thursday, September 27th, 2012No not the McDonalds on Market just west of 2nd Street, the one just east of 2nd.
This fast food place is in the old Chevron Building so this is how they decorate:

OK fine.
The Smelliest Car in San Francisco is This Chevy II from the 1960′s – Incomplete Combustion – Maximum Functionalism with Thrift
Tuesday, September 18th, 2012This thing smells like a gas station, like 20% of the fuel goes out the tailpipe unburned:

Oh well.
Forget About the Google Bus, ‘Cause the “Soogle Bus” is Almost as Good! But Don’t Read the Racist Yelp Reviews
Wednesday, July 25th, 2012Here it is, as promised, the Soogle Bus:

But uh oh, here’s what you’ll find these days on the Yelp:
“I’ve never even been on one of their buses, but I observed one of their drivers this evening on Hawthorne Street driving aggressively, honking the horn continuously at the car in front of him and overall behaving like a jerk.“
“Although the shuttle and driver were booked for 8 hours, the shuttle driver refused to drive at points of the evening! At the end of the night, the driver tried to ask for more money than was agreed upon based on an old quote the company had given. I had to pull out my laptop to show him the email that his boss had sent me to prove that I did not need to pay him more.”
“Horrible. This is NOT a real travel/ tour service. They constantly ask for more money and CASH. They are disrespectful and RUDE. They throw litter around, and stand around and smoke. They speak almost no English.”
And that doesn’t include the reviews what were taken down or the ones currently on the “filtered” page.
Poor Soogle!
MSM Question of the Day: Do Trains Run on Gasoline? The SF Examiner’s “Caltrain could be off gas by ’19 under new plan”
Thursday, March 15th, 2012Uh, trains don’t run on gasoline, for various good reasons.
(I thought this was common knowledge.)
Or natural gas neither, if that’s what you were going for.

“Diesel” would have worked though.
Yes, like the jeans.
Just saying.
Bro-ham.

Here’s How That Whole Fell and Divisadero ARCO Station Bike Lane Situation Worked Out, On a Busy Day
Tuesday, September 6th, 2011Pretty much. The basic idea was to take out a few parking spaces. Getting that done in touchy, touchy San Francisco took about a half-decade
So, it used to be all like this:

And now it’s all like this, on a busy day:
For whatever reason, probably something to do with gasoline prices, this station doesn’t seem to get long lines on Fell as much as before.
Anyway, case closed for now…
2011 is the Year of the Motorized Bicycle in San Francisco – They Sound Just Like Motorcycles
Friday, August 12th, 2011I’m used to seeing the occasional late night motorized bicycle run in the Panhandle and Golden Gate Park proper, but now these things are popping up all over the place in broad daylight.
See?
And this was like ten minutes later – it was another dude (macho*, perhaps?) entirely.
Why not add a kit to your bike, you know, to stick it to the man? No licensing, registration, or pesky emissions regulations to worry about, right?
And please remember, Loud Pipes Save Lives, or something.
*Is it his scarf or his ladybug helmet what makes him so macho? Is he loved, does he have a family?
Peak Oil Update: The ConocoPhillips 76 Station at 1st and Harrison Plans on Selling Gasoline Until 2050 at Least
Friday, July 22nd, 2011(I vividly remember the first time I spent $20 on a tank of gas – it was with an Audi 5000 in Honolulu, way back in the 90′s. But I only vaguely recall my first $100 tankful – it was with Mom’s Taxi in Napa someplace a few years back. [GRANDPA SIMPSON MODE=OFF])
So there I was putting $94 worth of 87 octane (NBP – Never Buy Premium*) into Mom’s Taxi (straight outta Toyota City) and here’s what I saw:

Are we going to even have gas stations in 2050 and beyond? I don’t know, probably.
But the Peak Oil crowd will not like seeing this.
Not at all.
*Oh, your car “needs” premium? No it doesn’t.**
**Oh, you have an Audi? Well, you only think it needs premium. It doesn’t, IRL. Actually, you and your ride, IRL, you’re not that special.***
***Oh, you have a 1968 Porsche 912 what pings on regular? BINGO! You, sir or ma’am, you need premium. But nobody else.
