Gas Price Drumbeat: Got gas for $3.38 in Tennessee

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

I was traveling through Cookeville, Tennessee yesterday, and noticed that gas was $3.38 at the Wal-Mart on TN 111. I also fill up when I am not in Columbia as a penny saved is a penny earned, and those pennies add up in these difficult, economic times.
