Re: Local Gas Prices

I am always amazed when people worry about saving 10cents a gallon on gas. Most of the people who gripe about it spend more money on coffee and bottled water every day. If I am so poor that I have to save $1.50 on a tank of gas, then it is time for me to really take a good look ay my expenses.
