<VV> 100 Octane Gas at Irving

[Steven J. Serenska]

VVers:

I filled up my car over the weekend and went to an "Irving" gas 
station...I believe this chain is unique to eastern Canada and New 
England.  I first saw them in Maine several years ago and they began a 
few years ago to expand "down" into Rhode Island.

When I pulled up to the brand spanking new pump at the brand spanking 
new Irving station in Portsmouth, RI, I noticed that the pump had 100 
octane unleaded gas available.  I thought, "Jeez, my Corvairs are going 
to like *that*!"  Then I noticed that the price was $9.58 per gallon(!).

I talked to the store manager and he said they can barely keep it in 
stock in the summer months.  He said in addition to classic car guys, 
motorcyclists can't get enough of it.

Perhaps after I've tuned my Corvair next time ... and I'm low on gas ... 
and it's near Father's day ... and I'm feeling like a treat ... I'll put 
a few gallons in to see.

just fine" Serenska
