Thats GREAT news re gas pricing as well

Sure wish gas was that cheap here! Is it because of taxes being less or your close proximity to Bakken oil fields and less shipping costs?

Still, I'm not complaining too much, as last year, well even 6 months ago, gas was close to 4.00 a gallon, between 3.45 and 3.75-3.80 per gallon! ouch!
I bought a Honda Insight hybrid for the mpg and am still amazed at its efficiency. at 60-65mph I routinely get 60-65 mpg (checked dividing miles by gallons used)! AT 80+ it dropped to approx 45mpg, and 43.5 in KS at 85 into the headwind going out to Ft Riley from KS City! Still, the 950+ mile trip only cost $48.00 to get there, and 43 back tailwinds made a BIG difference..That was the cold front that cam in on the 3rd of Jan pushed me all the way home, just about! hehe

It should be nice weather in April and May, correct? Thats when I plan to come visit my son again, and will be passing through your area...hopefully...
