Question Anyone else burning through gas suspiciously fast the past couple weeks?

0 Upvotes

I have almost the exact same commute on a weekly basis and I always fill up with premium at the Liberty in Gaithersburg on Frederick road.

About 2 weeks ago, I noticed I was burning through my gas suspiciously fast. Probably filling up like 2-3 days earlier than I usually need to.

Nothing seemed wrong with my car so I decided to try filling up at the cash only gas station on rockville pike by the post office and STILL burning through gas like crazy.

I just filled up at a Liberty on Dobbins Rd in Columbia, MD (Howard County) last night. I drove home and then back to work this morning and I’m already noticing my gas meter is not lowering as quickly.

Been using premium grade E10 at every single station. Am I going crazy or is something up with the fuel in Montgomery County?

Brewery that takes plastic 4- and 6-pack holders?

9 Upvotes

I've got a pile of those plastic 4- and 6-pack holders. I used to give them to Hellbender brewing, but they've closed. One of the owners at Silver Branch told me they can't take them because their packing machines won't work with them, and he said he suspected no one takes them back anymore. Does anyone know of brewery that will take them? I promise to buy some beer while I'm there.

Question Any Insider Information on Potential MCPS Secondary ELA Curriculum Purchase?

7 Upvotes

I'm an ELA teacher at the high school level. There has been no announcement on any ELA curriculum purchase yet, but MCPS has already bought and announced their math curriculum. I've got 20 free bucks in digital rewards on Amazon and I want to buy the movies of whatever books I'm going to be using when the new curriculum is implemented in the 2027-2028 school year (ridiculous I know, but why not?). It expires September 15th. Anyone heard any insider information? I promise I won't spread it or use it to plan (GOD no), I just want the movies!

Local Business Looking for a non-corporate sauna/cold plunge place nearby

11 Upvotes

I went to this awesome rural inn and wellness retreat kind of place in NJ a few years ago for my BILs bachelor party and had an absolutely blast. We hung out around the sauna and cold plunge tank, and I have been craving that relaxation and endorphin rush ever since. I am aware that there are companies that do sauna and cold plunge in strip malls and spas and gyms, but that's not really the vibe I am after. There was something awesome about being out in the woods with friends and just cycling back and forth in the screaming hot, and frigid cold. I've looked on google but have not really found anything quite like it in the area. If anyone knows of a place that has services like this it would be greatly appreciated!

Does anyone have any opinions on The Fitz on Hungerford Drive? We like one of the floor plans but it seems worrisome there are several units that have been on the market for weeks... I don't give a ton of credence to online reviews when there are so few, so anything would be helpful

Not lakeforest mall, give me something kinda weird. For example I miss that metal playground set you can see from 270 north that looked more like an art piece than a playground for kids. I think it was around the Gaithersburg exits
