Ouch.Granted, this is less than a lot of big cities.
One of the local gas stations had to start selling gas by the half-gallon.
Why? Because their pumps don't go over $2.99 a gallon!
They are of the old rotary-dial type, evidently that were designed
20 years ago when the concept of $3.00 gas was absurd.
The front page of the local paper had a shot of one station's sign,
however I didn't download the picture in time. (They take things down quickly)

Either way...for a gal that drives ~60 miles/day for work and gets ~15mpg.
60/15=4 gallons
$4 x $3.04= $12.16 per day for gasoline!!

Thankfully, my boyfriend has been letting me use his car.
But really...how long can that go on? Grrr.....
