To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Can you believe it?

I just checked gas prices. Glasgow is $2.69, while here at home it went to $3.09 yesterday. Can you believe 40 cents a gallon different. I've heard of some driving out of town just to get gas. I know they don't save but that is not the intent.
