Local radio station Real Rock 101.1 FM (WJRR) has a new promotion called "Cheap Ass Gas." Select gas stations around town will be selling regular unleaded petrol at $1.01 per gallon (limit ten). I am not sure if this will be a one-time gimmick or if it will be ongoing.

This Friday from 1700 to 1900 you can get the cheap gas at the 7-11 convenience store at the intersection of US 17/92 and Dog Track Road in Longwood and also at the 7-11 at the intersection of US 17/92 and Airport Boulevard in Sanford.

UPDATE: I checked out both of these locations today and decided it was not quite worth the wait. The line to get in to each station was better than a mile long. Traffic was terrible. I waited in one of the lines for a good thirty or so minutes without moving before deciding to try the other. Had I waited in line I think 1900 hours would have come and gone before I got my chance to get fuel. Hopefully they will do this again soon.

The Florida quarter made its premiere today. Governor Bush unveiled it this morning at the Kennedy Space Centre complex. Inscribed with "Gateway to Discovery," the new $0.25 piece depicts the NASA Space Shuttle (which has been and continues to be grounded following the Columbia incident) and a Spanish Galleon sailing ship. Tickets to attend were free, but with my current financial situation I did not want to make the drive east.

What do you think of the new quarter?
