"I venture to suggest that patriotism is not a short and frenzied outburst

of emotion but the tranquil and steady dedication of a lifetime."

Gas price check

Feel free to add your hometown's gas stations to the list. It would be nice to get a feel for prices North Country-wide, or planet-wide for that matter, as I was excited to see visitors here from Canada, France and Japan. Welcome, and thanks for stopping by!

National average as of 11/13/08: $2.17/gal

Waddington, New York:
Sharlow's: 2.49
Kunoco: 2.47 (they dropped from 2.52 over lunchtime!)

Hogansburg (Reservation):
Any gas station: 2.29/gal

From globe-trotter rwiley of leftylimericks:
Istanbul, Turkey: 11.02/gallon

  3. There are no gas stations to be seen in Venice. However, a boat operator told me he was paying about 7.75 (depending on my understanding of Italian). The big pleasure here was walking the streets for miles and never seeing or hearing a car or any kind of motorized vehicle except boats in the distance. We are happy to be returning to President-elect Obama.
