      <content:encoded><![CDATA[We&#039;ve had a considerable drop in fuel here in the Panhandle.<br />
<br />
At the Hugo Chavez Citgo gas stations, as of last night, here&#039;s what we pay:<br />
<br />
87 Octane: 3.07<br />
89 Octane: 3.17<br />
93 Octane: 3.27<br />
<br />
At Exxon, BP, Shell and others, the price is only two cents higher.<br />
<br />
With such low, low prices, I was able to fill a half-empty 96 Pontiac Formula at Shell with 93 octane for 24 bucks.  <br />
<br />
I felt so great at having some money left over, I decided to stimulate the economy with a 5 dollar car wash.]]></content:encoded>

The 1964 Rockin Ranch Arrow did a wonderful job getting us to the sites the club had picked out. The journey was a little over 100 miles seeing the fall colors that currently abound in SW Oregon. It was a wonderful journey on the county paved back roads and I believe everyone had a great time. <br />
