We got back last night after a very nice drive from Minneapolis to Springfield. We decided to eschew the Interstates and took the Great River Road along the Wisconsin side of the Missisippi. I heartily recommend it as a wonderfully scenic and interesting drive if you are up that way and have the time.
Back to gas prices.. {{sigh}} First, I see the prices jumping this afternoon here in Springfield, no big surprise. We actually bought premium yesterday at a little Git-N-Go convenience store for $3.09.
I'm going to be working on my favorites list (again). I just can't seem to really get it right, but I'll keep trying. I'm stubborn....up to a point. I see that I need to add the street number which I had, for some reason, taken off my favorites thinking that the important thing was to have the main street and a cross street, if there was one, and only included the street number for the stations that have no cross or "T" street.
I think we did get it straight that Springfield has two Grand avenues, one North Grand and the other South Grand, that do not, at any point connect.
I'm rather getting the feeling that we should steel our selves to the fact that dupes are going to happen and just live with it since newbies are always just going to start posting prices and giving locations as they would normally say them. The guidelines are not obvious and people are not likely to go looking for them. I didn't notice the discussion forums for months.
Anyway, we're glad to be back from a very nice time in Minneapolis and hope that, in the unlikely event anyone is actually reading this little blog, that you also had a pleasant and satisfying 4th of July.
