Gas Price Drumbeat: Says prices comparable

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com:Okay, I went to Louisville yesterday, Sunday, and gas prices were comparable to Columbia's all the way to Louisville. You guys need to get over it and worry about other things. Gas prices were no cheaper in Green county, LaRue, Hardin, etc. Just thought that I'd inform you all. Maybe gas prices are cheaper the farther East you go.I'm not sure about that.
