Anyone have any thoughts about moving closer to town because gas prices are getting to high to afford? I hear that they are going over $3.00 hear soon. Next year who knows what those crooks will want for a gallon of gas. They are ripping us off big time. I'm sick of their lies.

This topic has been kicked to death. Please be specific....who are "those crooks"? Also please provide the documentation that they are "ripping us off big time", and what are their lies?
They offer you gasoline for $3.15 a gallon (or whatever)....you give them $3.15 and they give you a gallon of gas. How is that a rip off? If one can't explain the supply chain from exploration to final pumping at the gas station and demonstrate an understanding of the costs and risks at each level I fail to understand how one can presume to know the price is a rip off.
Gasoline is cheap here relative to the price in much of the rest of the world. It is cheaper than bottled water. Until very recently the price of gasoline had not risen nearly as much as new home prices over the last 40 years. Were those crooks ripping off new home buyers through the 80s, 90s, and early 2000s?

No thoughts of moving closer here but I am curious, how much would you save after the move?

This thread has nowhere to go but a political discussion - so I'm closing it.
