I never said gas prices here were never below $2. In fact I never mentioned gas prices other than to say one locality was usually at least 30 cents less, responding to your post about local taxes. That county has lower local gas taxes. I have no idea where you got that I said gas prices never went below $2 because it's not there. Do you have a reading disability?

And you got my point about where most of local tax revenues go - to local public schools in one form of spending or another. I left out the part about checking to see how average teacher salaries compare to the average salaries for everyone else in your locality. Most places here teachers' average salary is double what average salaries are for the entire counties or city.
