Dave Rosenbaum: Cheap gasoline another perk of living in Adair

Dave Rosenbaum writes:

Cheap Gasoline in Columbia:From time to time I have read CM comments of folks carping about the unfairly high gasoline prices in Columbia. Well, I drove down from Lexington yesterday and gasoline prices in Columbia ($2.56) were significantly lower than anywhere else along the way. Gasoline at Junction City is usually cheapest but it was $2.76 yesterday. Just another perk of living in Adair County. --Dave Rosenbaum
