cheaper gas in MO

I always wondered why it was cheaper there than in IL...

Most of my inlaws drive across the river to fill up for 5,10, sometimes 15c a gal less..

FTE Ken told me how to save 5%, & right now that is about 20 cents a gallon. I ordered my credit card yesterday. It seems like a good deal if you have a BP near you. I don't drive to save money anymore. It might be worth it if you were filling up a 30+ gallon tank though.

It must be some taxes, because I live near two cities Monroe/West Monroe that are separated by the Ouachita River. These two cities are in the same parish but gas is usually at least a nickel cheaper in West Monroe.

I'd be happy if gas was under $4.00.

I'm paying around $4.70, but I just fill up once every 6 weeks or so.

I have to eat, you know.
