$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.
