Gas Price Drumbeat: Says he may be nuts, but he ain't crazy Comment about: "Another view on the price of gas" Too ColumbiaMagazine.com:When I need to buy something and it is available from a local business, here is where I shop and and here is where I buy, but not gas -- not any more -- not with the obvious game that's being played at all the pumps here in town. I drive enough to be able to buy gas away from Columbia almost all of the time and that's what I do. It really is that simple. Twice earlier this week I bought gas between here and Campbellsville for $3.49. At the same time I noted gas in Campbellsville was $3.56 and here it was $3.70-something. If someone saw me fill up my car, pay for the gas and then tear up and throw away a five dollar bill they would think I was crazy. That's what buying gas here amounts to, and while I may be nuts, I ain't crazy.s/JH Name and contact information on file 2008-05-09 19:48:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Gas Price Drumbeat: Another view on the price of gas About:Don't buy gas 2 days a week To Columbia Magazine.com: Every morning, I watch CNN and they have a part called "Minding Your Business" where they review the price for gas today, a month ago and a year ago, based on national averages. For the last couple of weeks, Adair County's price has been 10 cents higher than the national average! I would expect the price to be higher than the national average in places like Louisville or Lexington, but in Columbia?! Something is not right about this...
