Chevron is always higher priced here in the at Bay Area as well but damn! I have to buy super unleaded for most of my cars and that is at least $1 more per gallon than I paid recently at chevron here.
Shell is always higher, especially in SF…I saw Shell diesel in Redding last week for $6.19, and down the street it was $4.59 at Chevron.
$4k surcharge on the 190 and they can’t even throw in the flag pole!
Question for ya, my wife and I are in our late forties and early fifties, will we feel old/out of place there?
Absolutely not! We are in our mid and late 30s and we saw people anywhere from early 20s to 50s+. Keep in mind, sandals are costly as it’s all inclusive (flight, transportation, drinks, meals and tips included). But all sandals are kid free so it’s an all adult scene. Since we went to south coast (furthest from the Montego Bay airport) we paid the additional money and hired a private car from Sandals, BMW 535d that came with food and drinks for the 1.5hr drive. I would also advise paying the additional money for the Club Mobay fast track through customs and immigration. When we landed in Jamaica the line through customs was about 2-3hrs long and we went through in roughy 15min. When we returned to the airport we had a lounge with free drinks and food to wait in until our flight left.
Piggy backing on this. I would suggest/recommend not being the typical “American” tourist. On average the US dollar is worth about $120 Jamaican dollars. $20 USD is not a lot to us, but is a lot to them. The appreciation and gratitude you will receive is worth it. Just my $0.02 ?.
Some of our main stations do but when we have right around 80 stations it would be very expensive to put one at each one. There are mobile generators that we can hook up and bypass pumps to keep things flowing. We just have to prioritize and make sure that we keep the high flow ones going.
Would also say that my wife and I went to Sandals in St Lucia which was beatiful. Went for our honeymoon. We had a very good time with the people there. Albeit we made good friends with people that were close to us in age, some of the most fun people were older than we were, and ended up on the excursions we were on. We all carried on at the pool bar after and for the remainder of the trip. Do not be intimidated by age as all ages and price points are welcome at these big name places. Would recommend. I want to go back to St Lucia but wife wants to go other places.
