Mainers certainly know how good we got it this time of year when it comes to living here.  The tourists are pretty much gone.  Only ones left are the leaf peepers, and who among us doesn’t appreciate the great fall foliage we get here.

The temperatures are nice. Not cold yet. And the heat and humidity are behind us for another year.

How about a nice Sunday drive.

What I am about to tell you starts with the advice that if you are going to participate you do as you are instructed before you go on the ride. Respect the speed limit.  Respect your fellow drivers. Follow the rules of the Park.

The event is The Annual Downeast Maine Cruise.

Hard to keep your eyes on the road as you check out the views, but you know the drill.

If you are continuing into Acadia for the Park Loop at the end of the ride, you do need a park pass.

This is a cruise, not a rally.

And these are some sweet rides. If you witness the ride this Sunday morning, may it bring an all day smile to your face.

LOOK: See how much gasoline cost the year you started driving

To find out more about how has the price of gas changed throughout the years, Stacker ran the numbers on the cost of a gallon of gasoline for each of the last 84 years. Using data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (released in April 2020), we analyzed the average price for a gallon of unleaded regular gasoline from 1976 to 2020 along with the Consumer Price Index (CPI) for unleaded regular gasoline from 1937 to 1976, including the absolute and inflation-adjusted prices for each year.

Read on to explore the cost of gas over time and rediscover just how much a gallon was when you first started driving.
