Gas Price Drumbeat: Gas in Franklin, KY 38 cents less

Ed:

Just look at kentuckygasprices.com all around us gas is as low as 3.47 in Franklin, KY. Meantime we are still at 3.85. Wonder why we are still so high. Oil prices fell by 10% and should translate into 10% fall in gas or about 40 Cents a gallon.
