$3.45 here in North Central Iowa (super unleaded w/ ethanol) State gas tax is a big factor. We lived in Tennessee 15 years ago, gas in Union City Tennessee ran about $1.30, 10 miles up the road in Fulton Kentucky $.99. Tennessee's gas tax was IRRC about a dime a gallon more (but no state income tax!) and Union City Tennessee had a city tax on gasoline. It was a weird situation, Union City is in a dry county but municipalities could set their own rules for alcohol, Union City allowed beer sales. So of course all the convenience stores were in the city limits so they could sell beer, the city tagged on and passed a gasoline tax. Here's what the politicians didn't understand. Go to Fulton Kentucky on a Friday or Saturday night. There'd be 5 cars in town with Tennessee tags for every Kentucky tag. Folks would drive up to Kentucky to buy wine and hard liquor (and probably beer too), lottery tickets and probably fill their gas tanks too. I wonder how many millions of dollars leaked across the state border because of this. For the first half we lived in Northern Wisconsin gas in Michigan was usually about $.07 a gallon cheaper, Michigan's gas tax was $.08/gallon less so the Menominee stations would undercut the Marinette stations by $.07 and keep the extra penny. But then two penny Jenny added a sales tax on gasoline on top of the road tax and a lot of Michiganders started buying fuel in Wisconsin.

The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
