Montreal to Old Orchard Beach (Maine)
« Thread Started on Jul 7, 2009, 9:16pm »		[Quote]
My brother + family is going to O.O.Beach in july, before going to Halifax.
I have an urge to follow him to the beach, then get back home. What's the price of gas, in Maine? How zealous are the state cops? What fellow ACNA'er is near by?

You can find the gas prices for just about anywhere in North America at;

http://gasbuddy.com/

Scroll down and on the left is "Gas Price Temperature Maps"

I find it very useful.

Done! Thru H91-93, then route 302,*Roosevelt trail* very scenic drive. Totals: 1010km(628 miles), 14h:29m ET, 108.4 liters (26.7 US gall.), average 10,7 l/100km (27mpg imp-22.5mpg us.) Without the Conway+ lake Sebago +Champlain bridge(Montreal)traffic jam, it could have been 30 mpg easy!
Just loved driving in New Hampshire, of course, had to slow down in the small towns, but there was no real hurry.
Bad points: The crank sensor(s) started acting up, sometimes the idle would go to 2500rpm. And I noticed the rear brake pads don't touch the whole disc surface. Oh well. Stuff happens.

And the odometer turned 140 000km (85 000m) in this trip.
Overall, a nice experience. Bonus: I passed in front of the Hartmann model railroad museum. www.hartmannrr.com
Now I know where it is, "I'll be back!" :)

Hell, you could of had a free trip to my parent's home/ beach on Sebago. Heck if I had a new hot water heater, you could of stayed at my place.
Property taxes are crazy in my neighborhood.
