YIPPEE!! Car show season starts with $5 gas
Posted: Wed Sep 23, 2026 6:57 pm
This Friday is the first cruise-in of the season in AJ that I like to attend. With gas prices like they are, it will cost $25 to put the key in the ignition of the Buick. Premium is close to $6 while Diesel is $6.29. My budget for Buick gas this winter will have to be $100 minimum per month. That, plus the cost of entering car shows, typically at least $50 around here, make the old car hobby a spendy one, at least this winter. Canadians who winter down here attend that cruise-in pretty heavily. I don't know how or if high gas prices will affect that any...... 
The weather was so warm in March last year for the BOP-C show, this year they are scheduling it on February 28. I don't know when the Florence show is, but with my luck, it will be on Saturday before the BOP-C on Sunday. It was like 112 at the BOP last year. I thought I was going to fry on my way home in a black car with no AC. I won't do that again this year.........
