JeanieS: Not Visiting CdA For 31 Cents

JeanieS: Here's the conundrum. I can buy gas in Spokane at $2.29 a gallon for a total in my 12-gallon tank of $27.48. Or, I can buy gas in Coeur d'Alene at $2.09 a gallon (.20 less per gallon) for a total of $25.08, a savings of $2.40. However, in the 30 mile round trip drive, using one gallon, I will end up only saving a grand total of 31 cents, plus an hour out of my day. I love you guys – but 31 pennies doesn't put food on my table.

Question: What generally brings you Spokane Merry Hucksters to Spokane?
