Gas



That's the gas station at the corner of the Smith Rd & Guide. One of the great mysteries to me (besides why do men have nipples?) is why Whatcom County pays more for gas than just about anywhere in the US. With 2 major oil refineries in our County and two just south of us, you'd think we'd get a break. But due to the esoteric "zone" pricing we get to pay more than our neighbors. I guess when you are bordered by Canada, the cascade mountains and the Puget Sound on three sides they have you right where they want you. It's almost enough to make a laissez-faire capitalist support gov't intervention.
