Today's Prices for Gas:

Shell - Capitol Hwy - Portland, OR - $4.49
76 - OR 212 - Clackamas, OR (my usual station) - $4.19
Sam's Club - Frank Ave - North Canton, OH (my old hometown) - $3.33
Marathon - Wade Hampton Blvd - Greenville, SC - $2.98

Sigh......

I know of a town that put on a gas tax to fix the roads etc. Philosophy, that did not thrill locals was that the visitors would pay most of the maintenance..... not sure how they came to that conclusion.
