Sunday leaving the BF's cousin in SW Virginia, it was $1.57 at the station by her house (and you can bet we filled up). 10-15 miles down the road it jumped to $1.77 and then $1.89. It was a three hour drive and once we got closer to home it dropped into the $1.77 range again. This morning filling up, I paid that but I've heard of places around here as low as $1.74 and $1.65.
Has anyone else ever noticed that in so called lower cost of living areas, gas is actually higher than the high cost of living areas? Same with other resources like food. It seems that if an area is considered LCOL expenses are higher but incomes lower. Go figure?
