The Kroger gas station in front of my work has it for about $3.71 a gallon I think, for regular 87 octane. My big boat, Grand Marquis, probably averages me about 20mpg. It is a 19.7 mile round trip to get there and back. I make minimum wage.

I can't wait for it to hit $6 a gallon.... lol, I will basically be buying gas for the week with one day's pay. $20 right now will get me ~ 1/4 tank, maybe a tad more. I never run all the way to empty.

EDIT: To touch on the public transportation topic; I live about 10 miles west of Atlanta, GA. There is one of the busiest airports in the world. How many times have I seen a bus here? Not counting church/school/etc buses, none. There are taxi companys and chances are you'll see one a day, possibly more. But it isn't like NY where you stand on the side of the road and yell for one. You basically call the cab company, and they dispatch a cab to you, just like the police. I had to take my dad to the airport at 5am one time because the taxi company told him it would be 3 hours before the next cab could get to him. You can take a bus on longer trips, but as said before, even with one destination it takes forever. Takes us about 12 hours tops to drive to Missouri to visit family; my aunt took a bus down here last summer and the ride was ~20 hours. Not to mention you're cramped on a smelly bus full of strangers.

So yea, our gas is cheaper than most places, but with good reason.
