Well, we all know gas prices suck. What is this $4/gallon gas when oil is under $100 a barrel? But that isn't my gripe (well, it is, but there is a different, bigger gripe.)
The cost of a gallon of mid-grade unleaded in Peoria: $4.29
The cost of a gallon of mid-grade unleaded in Manito: $4.03
Now, Peoria gas stations: I realize there is probably some city tax involved that may not allow you to sell at $4.03. However, twenty-six cents a gallon difference? Do you REALLY expect us to believe this? What kind of shit are you trying to get away with?
Now for some math, brought to you by my 31 year old TI-35 calculator:
I drive approximately 400 miles a week getting approximately 20 Mpg
20 gallons gas x $4.29 = 85.80 x 52 = $4461.60 a year
20 gallons gas x $4.03 = 80.60 x 52 = $4191.20 a year
The difference is $270.40. This pays my car insurance for 6 months plus two oil changes.
Quit ripping us off. Ok, well, most people. I don't buy gas in Peoria. I hope you are passing out single use tubes of KY with every fill up.

I don't get it.
Another one? My husband said gas on one side of Springfield was $3.97 and something like $4.19 on the other side of town.
I support avoiding taxes or costs whenever possible. Chillicothe is only 7% tax if I go there for lunch, but 10.25% in Peoria. Guess where I prefer buying lunch?
I've mentioned this before on your blog: The city gas tax in Peoria is 2 cents per gallon. Where the other 20 cents is coming from I have no idea.
