Yesterday I wanted to ride my bike to the convenience store to test out the tires. I didn't make it very far on the bike because the tires had deflated before I could even take it off the kickstand.
So I drove my car instead.
As I approached the store I noticed that the gas stand next to it had an unusually long line of cars waiting to get fuel. I've never seen so many at my tiny town's pump. The attendants were running around frantically and I could barely get in to park my car.
I figured it was because Golden Week has started and some pumps are closed during the holidays.
But this morning, as I drove to work - I passed the same pump. And read the gas price sign. I did a double-take. I couldn't believe it...
OVERNIGHT, the gas went from:
¥126/liter -> ¥162/liter
That translates to $6/gallon
That translates to $6/gallon
NO WONDER.
And oh my goodness... I need to get my bike fixed!

Over on Oki, the lines on 58 were backed up. I'm glad I didn't go to Justco or the Monkey store.
Clock is ticking...heck, we're leaving now! See ya in Naha
P.O.
