[South Florida DX Association] Gasoline Shortage

[Terrence R. Redding Ph.D.]

Good morning all.

Last summer, towing a trailer 6,000 miles from Florida to New Mexico and
back we paid as high as $4.89.  But that is not as bad as not being able to
buy gas at all.

Last week we took the trailer from Florida to Georgia to witness a son
in-law graduate from Basic Training at For Benning.  Many of the stations
there were out of gas and those that had it were selling it for $4.29.  On
post they had no gas, but I bought Flex Fuel, E85 for $3.25.  I was very
glad to get it, and glad my vehicle could burn it.
