Around here, there are "seasonal" increases. Since we're 30 miles outside of Louisville, KY...the price always goes up [just as hotel/motel room prices rise] just before the first Saturday in May [Kentucky Derby Day]. They may or may not go down before the annual Memorial Day weekend price increase, at the end of May.
In the last few years, hotel/motel room prices spike again, along with gasoline prices, just before the first weekend in August, when the NSRA Street Rod Nationals bring 13,000 cars and a related number of guests into Louisville.

With my Kroger discount points, I paid $3.63 a gallon. Since I had some business in Brandenburg anyway, it was well worth waiting until I got there to fill up.

Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
