Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

That didn't answer the question.
Old cars are only cool if (i) you have a newer car to drive daily, and (ii) it’s not one you can find on every tote-the-note lot in the state.

Fun fact: I rode by the Colonial terminal and gas tankers are still doing their thing.
Extended Colonial shutdowns can shift our prices, but of greater concern re Ida was the possible shutdowns of all the gasoline facilities from Mobile to Galveston.

Seems like initial reports indicate we dodged that bullet.

Not much movement so far.


I remember when Katrina hit hit and prices shot up above $3.It seemed so crazy at the time.

I think this was right near the highest price in Vancouver, USA in this millennium. Thanks, W!


Pretty high diesel:regular ratio there. Ouch.

Katrina was the spike before 2006, which, at the time, was 50+ cents a gallon more than anything we'd had before.
