Gas Price Drumbeat: Still waiting, still buying elsewhere

ColumbiaMagazine.com

I really don' mean to whine but I don't understand why gas is always 8-25 cents a gallon more in Columbia than in surrounding counties. I would just like an explanation why we need to go out of town to buy gas because it so much cheaper.

Right now on ky gas prices range is from $2.63 a gallon to our $2.85. I am waiting on an explanation as to why we are always higher than all around us.

Like the other writer, I too, buy other products out of town while I am getting gas.
