<VV> $3 gas/minimal Corvair content

[James Davis]

Spot price for unleaded is now $2.41 (9:41 cdt; 09/01/05). This is up $0.72 
in the last week, alone.   Figure about $1.25 for shipping, tax, and local 
profit so it looks like $3.75 or so next week.  It looks like the trip to 
the UVMCC International Rally in the Ultra Van will cost an extra $400 in gas.
