Gas prices have doubled here....I
have changed my fall riding schedule to organized trail rides that only at most
2 hours away (round trip being 1 tank of diesel). The close to home
endurance rides I was planning on attending are over 5 hours away, an extra $100
for a weekend out.
there are some odd things going on with fuel prices, for
sure. in our town, there are four convenience stores/gas
stations. one ran out of gas, one had only premium. the
other two are right across the street from each other. at one place,
prices are unchanged from last week, 2.69, 2.79, and 2.89 for regular,
midgrade, and premium, diesel at 2.79. right across the
street, 3.29, 3.39, and 3.49 for the different grades of
gasoline. folks lining up at both stations.
we cancelled a horseback riding/camping trip this weekend because of fuel
costs/availability.
dont know at this point if my endurance ride schedule will be affected
this fall or not, but it sure is a
possibility.
