  Interesting how the state borders seem to have such an influence on
prices. I'm guessing that is due to the state portion of the gas
taxes. For example, it must really suck to be the owner of an IL gas
station which is located anywhere near the IA or MO border. :-) Also,
I admit I haven't read a newspaper or tuned into the drive-by media in
a while, so I might have missed this, but did AK and HI secede? :-)
