Check out this story - but make sure you have your pacemaker plugged in when you do.
People in the Cornhusker State are paying a mean of $3.33 for a gallon of gasoline while those in South Carolina are paying a mean of "only" $2.83 a gallon. Thats just one more reason I've discovered to move to South Carolina.
I remember long ago and far away in another galaxy called college when in the spring of 1971 my paleontology class stopped in Vinton Iowa to fill up with gas. The cost that day was 17 cents per gallon - and that included all of the state and federal taxes AND a guy came out and pumped the gas and washed the windows without having to be asked to do it.
Contrast that with the summer of 1970 in Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming, where my cousin Boyd and I were shocked to amazement at paying the extortionate price of 40 cents a gallon for regular! Those days are long gone and never to return.
Seems to me there was a man-child who slithered into the White House in 2001 who claimed he was going to make the nation energy independent. And I seem to remember gasoline costing about $1.25 a gallon when he came to town. My how times change.

Republicans named Boyd are cheapskates in every state.
