My trip to the Keys today.

WOW. Key Largo is 265 miles from my home in Sarasota, soon to be a lot longer from NW Montana...anyway, I took the scenic route down US41, the old Tamiami Trail, Alligator Alley coming back. Great drive !!!! Dang..zooming along at the posted speed limit 55 and having to pass someone...jeez.....I was doing 95 before I knew it...damn this thing is faster than I thought. The most amazing thing is this, I got 27.3 MPG for the 530 mile round trip. Had to go to Snappers for lunch, a dozen raw oysters, conch fritters and a few pints of Sunset Ale, brewed in the Keys. Gas was really off the wall. I paid $2.44 here in Sarasota and $2.21 in Key Largo....in Florida City 22 miles up the Overseas Highway, on the mainland it was $2.57, In Homestead it was $2.39. I have no idea what is going on here.
