Lowest I saw Friday driving home from work (Syracuse to Manlius) was
$1.52. Next weekend I'm going to venture out in search of the
reservation off Exit 16 of I-81 (at least I think there's one out
there); otherwise I'd have to head to Canastota to get gas at those
prices and burn a gallon each way, which only saves me about a buck
(assuming I did the math right).

Don't have the money to get a bike, and my 21-speed needs a tuneup!
