Gas Price Drumbeat: Urges buying elsewhere To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com: With our local gas companies (charging too much), why don't we send them all a message by (not) buying gas here! I drive a truck all across the Midwest and notice that gas prices in Columbia rival gas prices in our major cities. Most gas stations that are out of a major metropolitan area are usually much lower, except in Columbia. So, let's (. . . ) let our local gas stations know that unity is a powerful voice!

Gas Price Drumbeat: He's buying out of town It seems to me the solution to the problem would be for everyone to purchase their gas anywhere but Columbia. I have done that for the last 12 years. It is no secret that prices are higher in Columbia than else where and have been for as long as I can remember. You won't have to figure out who the jobbers are or anything else once you stop purchasing gas in Columbia because you will then see the prices drop and get more in line with the surrounding counties. I think it is nothing more than the greed factor. s/Tony Rutherford 2007-10-29 15:34:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
