Yeah, the wifi is a good thing. If you can take the 12 mile detour south of Des Moines to a town called Indianola, they had $1.99 a gallon gas earlier this week. It's $2.10 up here in the NE part of the state and usually the cheapest gas in NE Iowa is just west of Waterloo at the Flyig J trruckstop on Hwy 20. They also have 93 octane for you premium heads.
