In the central New Hampshire, nothing gets a higher consumer awareness than the price of a gallon of gasoline. It is #1 on the list, far & away, with a gallon of milk being a distant second. People pay a lot more attention to the price of gas, than to the brand of gas. Brand means very little, while the price is everything.

At the new Cumberland Farm on Rt 3, above the Weirs, it has the area's lowest price of 2.99, and business was booming.

While the Lakes Region doesn't really lend itself to bicycles due to all the hills, and lack of bicycle lanes, probably the use of bicycles will increase anyway.
