Gas Prices Too High? Buy a Horse!

My brother Shad and I were talking the other day about how we can save money in light of high gasoline prices ($3.59 at highest!). We came to the conclusion that buying a horse would be the economical choice. A horse is much more affordable and reliable than an automobile, is it not? Or perhaps a motor scooter would be a better choice. Motor scooters are certainly more gas efficient than most automobiles. Shall we try it?
