Living or Driving Through Oregon, Hands Free as of Jan. 1 2010

Hands free driving varies from State to State, but if you are from Washington or California, driving hands free has become a way of life for the last year or two.

A big difference if you are used to driving in Washington, is that the reason to pull you over and the penalty for not being hands free, shows Washington as more lenient than Oregon.

For Oregonians or others not used to doing that, January 1, 2009 is the date to remember.  If you are under 18 years of age, it is not only hands free, but mobile communication device free!  Some exceptions do apply.

Finding The Best Gas Prices with Charts & Trends

We are all creatures of habit and that is why we will often go to where we always go, and do what we always do.

Good habits can be a great character builder and an energy efficient way to go. No extra time wasted wondering where we go to shop, have our car washed, or fill up with gas.

But a little check on your personal guidance system might save you some money that amounts to a sack of gold over time.

Mapquest will let you know in a heartbeat where the least expensive gas is. It also shows the date of the price check and lets you ask for directions on how to get there.  A high and low range lets you know how much of a local fluctuation there is.

GasBuddy.com is a nationwide website that can be also be found in Oregon at www.OregonGasPrices.com and in Washington at www.WashingtonGasPrices.com

At GasBuddy.com you can find both the lowest and highest gas prices posted in the last 36 hours.

It also has a link to a graph of recent gas prices that will help you see the last months trend (or year or up to 6 years) for your state of choice. Great indicator to encourage you to fill up sooner or later in the week.

If you are traveling across the US they also have a gas price heat map that translates gas prices across the US to color spots based on price. Planning that next trip may net you enough money to keep on traveling for a while.

Question: Do you remember what you paid for gas in July 2008?  Be thankful prices have changed.

McMinnville Oregon

As you can see from the map McMinnville is located about 40 miles southwest of Portland and about 26 miles northeast of Salem.

If you go and it is near breakfast or lunchtime, a must stop on the way is the Crescent Cafe at 526 NE 3rd. (503-435-2655)  Usually a quick line to wait in , but the only reason is the desire of locals and visitors alike to satisfy their palettes with just the best home cooked meal you could ask for.

Yes, this is the location of  The Spruce Goose which is located at the Evergreen Aviation and Space Museum.

If you want information about McMinnville, the local Chamber of Commerce website is a great resource.

Want to know about McMinnville schools?  Visit the school district website.

The City of McMinnville’s official website is a must read for visitors and residents wanting to get to know this Willamette Valley favorite.
