@Lana Where is he finding gaoline for a mere $3/gallon? It's floating between $5 and $6 around here. (Glad I have an EV, actually two if you count plug-in hybrids.)
@karlauerbach several southern/Midwestern states are hovering around $3/gallon right now including Oklahoma, Missouri, Tennessee, Louisiana, and Texas.
Of course I happen to know exactly in which State he lives, and it's none of those.
