 Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

Honestly, the math dont add up. If my lil memory serves me right, when oil climbed to post $140 in the 2nd week of july 2008, our prices at the pump were at most 107 per litre here in Kenya. Now we are at $120 per barrel and on our way down and a litre here is now 111bob. What's not right! PS: Noticed guys today in the morning were driving slowly, trying to economise on fuel. You should have seen me today morning, doing gear 5 at 20KM/H, having gotten rid of every luggage in the car,not braking AT ALL and driving near the car ahead to reduce fuel consumption kabisa! Tough times kweli! Maybe i should join Besigye on a roadmap towards walking to kazi! @SufficientlyP

For example in the US currently fuel costs approximately $3.5 per gallon - prices vary depending on city. For example, in Los Angels the price is slightly higher than this while in Denver, Boston etc. it is lower. One gallon (US) is approximately 3.79 litres and the dollar today is trading at Kshs. 84/= today. Therefore in the US today, one is paying Kshs. 3.5 * 84 for 3.79 litres. i.e. Kshs. 294/= for 3.79 litres OR Kshs. 77.57/= per litre. Habari ndiyo hiyo. In the US today one is paying Kshs. 77.57/= per litre while in Kenya one is paying 111/= per litre. A difference of Kshs. 33.43/= per litreIf you factor in the levels of income in the different countries etc. you will see how bad the Kenyans have it!!! Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.

What would be the implications assuming that i dress appropriately? @ wendz,i think no implication apart from people hooting at you from their lexus and chrislers?  and other people giving you that look of 'poor kenyan'.....and you getting sweaty but getting seriously toned at the right places. speaking of which,how did the weight loss regime go? @ maich,in that case,people need to look for practical solutions.......one of the things i find odd is the way everyone just prefers to take a car to work daily and i know that our trasport system in the best,but if you factor in fuel cost to work daily,it is quite high.......

I know the tax in Uganda on fuel is not as high as in Kenya but I don't have their current pump prices. Never count on making a good sale.

Had actually entertained the thought of motorcycling to work last night... What would be the implications assuming that i dress appropriately? Some time back had bought a motorcycle to ride mainly for sport but found it was great in moving from point A to B without jam and parking issues and of course cost effectively. So started using it more and more. Had to dump and sell it coz of fear of death. Was drummed into me by my better half, a tour of traffic police yard and stats and of more importance a half a dozen near death experiences. So the biggest implication is just how much you value your life. He who can express in words the ardour of his love, has but little love to express. - Petrach, Son. (That men by various ways arrive at the same end. - Montaigne, The Essays of.)

Do you really get sweaty on a motorcycle? there is no much body movement to cause the sweating ama hii ni motorcycle ya aina ya baiskeli?.... eeeh, the weight loss, what weight loss? Why do you want to depress me on a friday?.... well, lets just say, i tried, some cravings just wotn let go, got frustrated, decided life is short and let it be... Trying to enjoy the mass i have to carry around and its working pretty well so far... i will try again in August..... @Elder, Now that's a real scare right there! I love my life sooo much i'd be willing to walk to work if that's what it would take to save it and "cut costs"..

Can bio-fuel help??? Someone here said some guys in nyahururu or thereabout are making this commodity? Then we can all buy environmental friendly diesel vehicles!! When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.
