[Ansteorra] gas prices too high...travel effects

[HE Chiang]

Yeah, what he said. Out here in the Western Region, the nearest branch to us 
is in the Outlands. We drive two hours just to get to the nearest Kingdom 
branch or event. I just got home from a three hour drive from Mendersham, 
after driving nearly 7 hours to get there from Stargate. Anyone else want to 
complain about driving costs?
Chiang, sore, tired and weary......with a couple of bruises thrown in.
