It's going to take A LOT to prevent me from attending this year's spode fest.
However, I am concerned about gas prices. I'm estimating that I'll use about 100 gallons of fuel in my truck (let alone race fuel for the bike), and things aren't looking good for gas prices! Certainly there are spodes out there traveling from much farther away with motorhomes, etc. in a much worse gas usage situation than myself.
There are already stations in Iowa jacking prices to $4-$5 per gallon! This morning, it was $1.59!
A local gas station owner went on the news saying it was B.S., people shouldn't panic, since (or unless) the fuel isn't going to cost him significantly more than normal, he won't increase prices. I am seeing many stations just taking advantage of our country during a time of severe tragedy and it disgusts me.
Even right now (into the evening), cars are lined up around the block to fill up with gas.
