Sadly, it won't be long until the day comes that you remember these prices fondly. Unfortunately, it's going to happen. Within a few years, the price/barrel of crude is suggested to hit 100$/barrel. Ouch indeed.

Well it will be $100 now. All they have to do is announce a speculation and that seems to pave the way, regardless of the actual supply.
I just bought a scooter capable of sustained highway speeds, and it gets about tripple the MPG of my truck.

Really? It gets Fifteen miles per gallon? Oh wait, that's triple the MPG of MY truck....

I am about to start sending my delivery crew out on deliveries with our little Jeep and have them leave the big truck in the warehouse. We can do it: the delivery trailer easily tows behind even a small car, but jamming all the tools into the back of the Cherokee is a pain.

Hmm. Maybe a roof rack...

We're leaving for Chicago Labor Day weekend to attend my sons graduation from basic training at Great Lakes Navel Center. We're taking the whole family and his girlfriend so we will be driving my Suburban

It's around eighteen hundred miles round trip and the Suburban gets about 15 miles to the gallon

I guess the Mall Of America won't get as much of my cash as the gas pumps.

Skip the MOA, it's just a big mall. I live near there, and maybe get there about 1 time every couple years.

Brewmans right about MOA- It sounds like he makes it there more often than I do. BUT� If you are here during the weekend, I highly suggest the Renaissance Festival in Shakopee. I love going there, they have GREAT turkey legs! And if you do happen to go, swing by the Como Cottage and say �hi� to Smiley, my brothers alligator.

You think your gas is expensive?

How about $1.021/L Canadian. Thats is the price around Toronto.

$1.021 * 3.8 = $3.8798/Gallon

$3.8798 * 1.2 = $4.656/Gallon in US funds.

OUCH

I know it's just a big mall but I'll be traveling with two teenage girls that live for big malls.

Hubby's not happy with the mall pit stop, so I gave him my blessing to take our youngest son (15) to Hooters

,while we shop.

Ruby can you pm me info on the renaissance fair, I'd love to go to that. Will it still be there Labor Day weekend.

Brewman and Ruby, since you both live in the area can you recommend a resonable hotel near the MOA. Any info would be appreciated, Thanks in advance.

I actually don't live that close to Bloomington, so I'm not familiar with the hotels in that area. There are a lot of hotels in that area, and all look pretty nice. Not sure about rates. Suppose it depends on how full they are.

The Ren Fest is all the way thru the end of September, but only on weekends. Only open Saturdays and Sundays, and possibly Labor Day Monday.
It's about 25 miles Southwest from the MOA, Just south of Shakopee.
It's a pretty easy place to find, right off of a major freeway, Hwy 169. But if you do go, arrive early to beat the caravan of vehicles that backs up for miles getting in.

Depending on what else you want to do, there are hotels in some south metro cities like Burnsville or Eagan that are only a quick freeway hop to the MOA, and may be a little less expensive, plus you'd be a bit closer to the Ren. Fest.

Let us know what you end up doing.

I guess that fits into the "male bonding" category along with Fishing, Camping and Poker.

Is your cousin someone with a shop selling that stuff, and if so, what's the name of his shop?
Or is he a performer?
