I live 26 miles from Prineville. I have lived here since 1992 when gas was a consistent 89c per gallon. I don't make extra trips. When I leave town, if I forget anything, it's forgotten until next trip. That has been true since I moved here.
And, I live off the grid. So I use gas to generate power too.
How do I pencil in 431.9 per gallon? Cut backs. Next thing to go is my Sat TV.
This is not good for the local economy or national.
