[Chrysler300] 300's expensive appetites

["Rich Barber" <c300@xxxxxxx>]

The tributes to George and Eleanor Riehl were well done, touching and
provided us newbies a sense of the history of the club.  Thanks to the
creators and contributors.

Interesting that in Australia, 91 octane is "regular".  In California, that
is "premium" and generally as good as you can get.  The only premium thing
about CA gas is its price--generally US$0.25-US$0.50/gallon above the US
average ($0.65 above the average this week).

1 liter= 0.22702 US Gallons  therefore:  AUS$6.87/USGallon  US$1=AUS$1.0356,
so net equivalent cost is US$6.63/USgallon.  Only Hawaii is higher--must be
the Australian effect.

Our '55 Chrysler C300 with 8.5:1 compression ratio runs just fine on our 87
octane.  Time will tell how our ramKrag will run on 91 octane.  It is
accumulating coats of CA-spec water-base Roman Red Poly (or as close as we
could get) and clear coat this week.  I hope it doesn't all wash off during
the coming rainy season.

Due to it being early morning here in Australia now and I heading out the
door, I have only had a brief fast look at the Tribute to ex 300 President
George, that is amongst Club Photo Man's Bob's Latest 300 News Update just
email us, but once again it shows how lucky this 300 Club is to have
many/such excellent Office Bearers - both those past and present.
 
Thank you to Bob, and thank you to George who so clearly by the many early
days shots of his 300 love and involvements, was a true 300
owner/enjoyer/lover, never mind as President for so long responsible to hold
the whole Club/show together when no doubt there sometimes so many different
personalities/issues/beliefs?!
 
'you all take a look take a look', and decide for yourself ?!
 
Christopher Australia - winter grain crops badly hurt by widespread poor
finishing spring rains - so for sure now, not too many aussie winter
southern grain growers will be pushing up US 300 sale prices this
season/year, and our gas/petrol prices at 156c a litre -that for 91 octane,
premium add another 10-12c a litre !!
