$4.00 a gallon? Its $1.37 a litre here, about $5.40 for one of your gallons, $6.22 for one of ours. !!!

Geez, I hadn't done the calculation recently, that's pretty high. We'll still probably make it to Darrington and Toledo for the Bluegrass Festivals there, we'll go to Chilliwack for sure, and we're probably going to the Sooke Festival.

That's as much ferry ride as driving, so we'll see what that costs. Our banjo player will probably ride with us and bring a tent instead of his '84 Westy because of the prices.
