Gee, I was thinking the same thing. We saw gas as low as 79.9
a couple of weeks ago, and now it is mostly 107.9! I did see it
last week at 98.9 (better believe that I filled up the F150.

On another note, when the temperatures here hit 77 on Saturday,
I decided it was time to try to start the Spit. I put it away
on October 30, and haven't run it since. After a few minutes
of cranking, it fired to life. Now I just need flexible brake
lines, a new driver's seat frame, insurance and new registration
to get it back on the road.

Cheers,
