Over the mountain

by Jim Duncan on August 31, 2006

We went over Afton Mountain to Waynesboro last night to stock up for the upcoming storm. Fourteen minutes from my house to the grocery store.

Explain to me, please, why gas at Martin’s grocery store is $2.49 (and then I got a .10 discount for a total of $2.39/gallon!) and gas here in Crozet is anywhere from $2.77 to $2.89/gallon.

Almost as good is that The HooK seems to appear there on Wednesday evenings – so I get a jump on most everybody else!

    Actually you can get gas for 2.59 at Shell — got it there today. You are better off to buy it here than drive over the mountain

    Sort of off-topic, but related to gas stations in Crozet.
    One of my pet peeves is the traffic flow-or rather, lack of same-at Brownsville Market.
    Trucks, vans, and cars all park haphazardly between 250 and the pumps. It’s difficult and dangerous to get in and out of there for gas.
