We just got back from the East Coast (New Jersey). Nice place but I don't miss the traffic and the prices. (and I wouldn't want to live there - again)
Gas, however, was only $1.39 at the "full service" pump. "Full service" includes taking my credit card, opening the gas cap, inserting the pump, and extracting the pump, and giving me my card with a reciept. Wow, I felt so privalidged and important. To heck with the oil, windshield, tires, etc.
Actually, the fear of "Drive-offs" most likely prompted the "full service" attendants.
It does make me curious how they can sell gas for $.30 to$.40 cheaper with two attendants pumping gas, while in Indiana, it's more expensive.
Oh well, I didn't complain about the price.
If all goes well, I'll get up to "Chain of Lakes" soon so I can check out the camping area for the Summer Gathering.
Hope everyone is getting off to a good start this year.
