Gas prices

Posted on October 20, 2005February 10, 2017 by Ian C.

Of course we have all seen it recently …

A crazy spike in gas prices supposedly “caused” by the devastating hurricanes … but is anyone really fooled by the price behaviour – my prices (generally Sunoco 91 in New England) jumped from $2.50 to $3.50 in just a few weeks, and now about the same time period again and we are almost back down to the original price.

I can’t believe that we ran out of gas so instantly when the hurricane(s) struck, and I don’t believe that all the gas is back to pre-hurricane normality either now.
The only other choice … someone is screwing with us 😦

At least I am paying $30-$40 to fill my tank, unlike owners of H2s 😉

Best Wishes Keith!

From the CareForKeith web site it appears that by now, Keith is back home with his parents, only a few miles from me, MINI of Peabody, and his many local friends. I truly hope he will soon be able to travel about and visit them …

The pins remain popular at MINI of Peabody, and some MAMA people bought them yesterday too – but there are still some left.

The few $$$ raised will be insignificant for Keiths many needs in the months past and to come, but the pins represent much more – our thoughts and wishes for his continued improvement …

MAMA III

Back home from MAMA 3 (see this MINI2 thread) – lots of MINIs and loads of water! There was heavy rain during my drive up to Keene, and also during some of the drive today – but none of this spoiled the fun we all had; there were a few route changes due to the floods, and one U-turn!

Our lunch stop was at Cathedral Of The Pines which happily offered a tent & dry benches:

On the return journey we stopped in Harrisville – we would have enjoyed a tour of the ex-mill town, if the weather had been more friendly. Instead we were in awe of the water again:

Sadly there was very little fall foliage:

A great day: seeing loads of MINI friends and meeting some new ones, enjoying some great twisty roads and not drowning are all good. Thanks Annette for the brownies too 🙂
