On the road again and making Big Oil richer.
Well, at least I did not encounter gas more expensive than $3.70 a gallon (in Illinois of course) and generally around $3.40. Gas in Virginia and North Carolina was as low as $3.24. I hate how I consider that to be "cheap gas" anymore.
SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 18TH
After packing and then watering the plants, I set off at 9 AM. Drove the usual way all day. Illinois Highway 47 from Woodstock to Mahomet, a pit stop at the McDonald's in Yorkville and another in Gibson City.
Then I-74 from Mahomet to Indianapolis, with gas along the way in Crawfordsville, Indiana (usually among the cheapest $3.40). Then, I-70 to Columbus, Ohio, and then through to Zanesville and another night at the Super 8 west of town and on US-40 (the National Road). The motel cost $56 with tax.
Now, since I'm hooked on Cincy chili, a stop at the Skyline Chili place by Exit 29 in Dayton. Dinner was served and eaten.
Drove About 520 Miles for the Day. --RoadDog
