I just got back last night from a trip down to South Padre Island for a
friends wedding and down in that area the gas is $1.92 a gallon. Once I got
up into San Antonio area it started going back up to over the $2.00 a gallon
mark. :(
One of these days I will move out into the country and get a horse and just
get rid of my car. It would be cheaper that way I think! hehe
