Dayton this year?
Anyone going to Dayton this year?
I've been going for the past several years, but figuring on around: 175 dollars for gas 325 for room (Wed through Saturday at a good rate) 125 dollars for food (maybe if I do a lot of Micky D's) I'm looking at 600 plus dollars before I even buy anything. Think I may have to take a pass... As those fuel costs skyrocket, it might be pretty hard on Dayton in the future. - 73 de Mike N3LI - |

Don't know yet. We often make up our minds at the last minute.

For a vehicle that gets ~20 mpg and $3.25 gas it's pretty close. 325 for room (Wed through Saturday at a good rate) 125 dollars for food (maybe if I do a lot of Micky D's) The only way I can see to cut that down is to go with a buddy and pack a lunch..... I'm looking at 600 plus dollars before I even buy anything. Think I may have to take a pass... As those fuel costs skyrocket, it might be pretty hard on Dayton in the future. Maybe. But note that even if the price of gas was cut in half tomorrow, the trip would still cost over $500. IMHO the amazing thing is that so many hams from outside the day-trip area go to Dayton. Actually, gasoline prices aren't really skyrocketing. What's happening is that we've had years and years of gasoline prices not keeping up with inflation, and now they are making up for lost time (and then some). Here's one interesting analysis: http://www.energy.ca.gov/gasoline/st..._adjusted.html 73 de Jim, N2EY (still miss my old VW Rabbit Diesel - 50+ mpg highway, no ignition noise) |
