1. I live in No. 1.
It's so expensive because everyone has to commute so far to get to work.

3. Ironically, GA has one of the lowest gas taxes in the nation.
Unfortunately, the tax funds only roads and bridges and a tiny amount of sidewalks and bike lanes. Public transit is woefully underfunded in GA. (You wouldn't want any of those minorities with out cars to make their way out to the suburbs. :scaracsm:)

2. There goes their tax cuts!
I wonder if freepers ever think about how stupid they are? Their $400.00 tax cut was gone a loooooooooong time ago. High gas prices, higher grocery costs, higher utilities and higher insurance costs, but..but, but Bush is a GAWD FEARIN' man. :eyes:

4. Paid $2.03 in Millersville MD
yesterday. I don't mind the prices going up....hopefully it will force Americans to become more mindful of where they drive to.
