Experience says gas prices higher than 95% of other places Billy Joe Fudge writes about Wonders if sales tax the reason for gas price differential I agree with the CM's baseline to this article.

Wonders if sales tax the reason for gas price differential Bruce David writes concerning Any logical reason for gas price difference There have been many comments about gas price in Columbia, compared to surrounding communities, but not many logical explanations. Since prices in an unregulated environment are set where supply meets demand, and assuming there is no more demand in Columbia or more supply in Campbellsville, the variance has to be from some other stimulus. Is there a greater Columbia or Adair County gas or sales tax that other communities do not have to pay? -Bruce DavidAt present, the only sales tax in Kentucky is a uniform state tax of 6%. That's not the reason. Most letters we get lay the differential to greed - arrogant greed - and the unwillingness of the public to fight back. -CM 2009-08-01 09:50:03 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Doug McCammish wonders why Burkesville gas is cheaper, too Doug McCammish writes to Mark Hale, via CM, concerning: 20 cent difference 1400 per gas tanker extra profit Please apply your reasoning and arithmetic to Burkesville gas prices, which are generally about the same as C'ville. Does driving the next 20 miles or so down 61 to Burkesville somehow add time to the trucker's day and put diesel back in the truck's tank? Maybe their gas comes from Tennessee? Thanks to everyone who is putting a pencil to the problem. When the figures are known, we may find that higher gas prices here are the biggest threat the Adair County economy faces. The question is: What is the community going to do about it? What are individuals going to do? The Adair County Fiscal Court is saving huge dollars with its county owned gas pump. Maybe the independents here can get an alternate source and bring the price down. Please send your suggestions, (without demonizing any parties involved). -EW 2009-08-01 09:15:10 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

The price of a gallon of gas is higher in Columbia than anywhere between Valdosta, Georgia, and Columbia. Valdosta is at least 500 miles south of "The Island" Does the game "Monopoly" ring any bells? 2009-08-01 07:32:27 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Or, does the D.C. part of Washington now stand for Duck & Cover?

Even tho our two seem to be against some of the worst it would seem fitting to hear from them directly (and not their lackeys) and let them face the music from those of us who put them there.
