I've been to WV. Though ths was quite a few years ago.
The trucks that deliver the gas should be charging y'all an extra $2 per gallon just for driving on some of those mountain roads.
Or at least "roads" is what they called them. 
Suicide paths are more like it LOL


Yes those are the suicide paths, that is why the have the anti-suicide ramps algon the side of the road.  I have seen a few trucks up in them.  BTW, it isnt easy driving on our roads at night when it is raining, because we dont use the flourescent paint for the lines like everyone else does.

I live in Northern Louisiana and we have a couple of stations that jumped up to $4.00 a gallon, BUT the Exxon stations in town only went up 10 to 15 cents agallon. Cheapest is $3.68.

I find it odd that the stations that sell the cheap grade gas have made major jumps.

I live in Martinsville, VA (next door to Danville), our gas is currently $3.82/gal but good luck getting in line. I just drove thru the area looking around and it's a mad house, every gas station is jammed packed with cars to the point that it's snarling traffic around them. I did see some signs stating that you could only buy 3-5 gallons and that they were out of regular. The news reported that tomorrow morning it'll be $6.00/gal here which is unheard of around these parts. Even during the summer gas only -just- peaked above $4 but most remained at $3.50ish.

Martinsville!!!!!!  This doesn't apply here, but my buddy was the asst. coach for the Mustangs this year, I went up there a few times to see them.

South Boston, the opposite side of Danville around $3.79/gal or more and that's if they have gas.

You live in Clarksburg WV? Me too.
There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

I'd be angry if I was forced to pump it myself.

I can't remember ever seeing someone here in Colorado pump my gas for me, and I've lived here 20 years now. Just a guess, but I'd say the only reason you aren't pumping it yourself is because there is a law saying you can't.

In the end you should be thankful for those players like us who switch to try and help keep things even because our willingness to do so, helps a more selfish, I want it my way player, get to fly his latewar uber ride.

Average in Columbia, SC is 4.16 which is unusual because SC normally has the lowest average in the US.

Did my Basic and AIT at Ft. Jackson.  I remember Columbia as a very hospitable town.  Lots of fun weekend passes there...
