I wasn't aware it was going for THAT much up north, I was simply making an
observation based on what I've been seeing here in Illinois. I'm sorry if I
sounded ignorant, or maybee like a rich snob.....but when you look at what
youre paying now and what you were paying 5-6 months ago, you can see where
I'm coming from.
Plus, I quit smoking so theres a lot more cash in my gas & mods fund....so
that may be why im more open to higher gas prices! :)
