Gas Price Drumbeat: Why is same gas 20 lower in Glasgow? Ed, My intent is not to drive to anywhere to buy gas that would be ridiculous. My question is and has been why is gas always 10-20 cents a gallon higher than the surrounding counties. When a certain brand is 20 cents less in Glasgow for example, my question is why I just don't understand why ours is always higher. I still have no answer to the question. s/Thanks, Gerald Doss 2008-03-28 15:11:28 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

By Tom Waggener Owner, Main Street Bikes Western Kentucky University was kind enough to grant me an undergraduate degree in Graphic Design about 10 years ago. That worked out so well that I returned in 2005 to get a Masters of Arts in Folk studies. During my 6 years of study in seemingly unrelated topics, there was much discussion about the nature, and definition, of art. Several thousand dollars of student loans later, I am still lacking in a decent, working definition.
