With gas at an average of $4.71 a gallon in San Diego County, commuters, and especially surfers, are scrambling to reduce their fuel consumption.
Surfers waste gas while driving non-stop coastal loops in search of the best waves and let their vehicle idle endlessly during street end or beach parking lot surf checks. They love their gas guzzling, bro-dude monster surf mobiles that boost macho core-scores, but put a strain on bank accounts and produce smog alerts.
A fair share of surfers pack their quiver in the back of a lifted 4×4 F-350 crew cab, which makes sense when hauling a trailer filled with sand toys to the desert, but not so much when it comes to driving a mile to the beach.
