????? Gas has always varied "across the country". I'm use to that
now....but a .20/gal jump in 1 week, that is not measly when you pump 25
gallons of 93 octane into a truck.

Perhaps, since we drive English cars, we should take the English
attitude
here.
In England, gas is at least three times the price here. (Maybe 2.5X
compared
to California, and 3.5X compared to New Jersey). So, we should be
amazed how
cheap
the stuff is, and not worry about a measly 10 cents per gallon
difference here
or there...
Quiz: Try naming some liquids besides water that you can buy retail in
small
quantities
more cheaply than gasoline.

P.S.: One thing that sort of annoys me is the fact
that there is such a large variation in gas proces across the country.
