I tend to pay the cheapest for gas, even among the rising prices that we've all been beholden to lately. But today, one of the cheapest places in my tony little suburb is up to $1.86 a gallon (I know, there are those of you out on the left coast who are significantly higher than that, but work with me here).

Georgia has some of the cheapest gas prices in the nation, but it ain't lookin' good for the summer.

I keep hearing about some sort of gas boycott tomorrow (5.19), but I have my serious doubts as to whether or not it'll work. The real test will come Memorial Day weekend -- will people get out on the roads in droves like they have in past years? I don't think so. I'm guessing that the first sign of people staying off of the roads will be seen then. I mean, why spend the bucks for a pleasure trip when you can do just as well close to home?

Well, in any event, I'm sure you've seen the AtlantaGasPrices.com sticker on my navbar. The same outfit does similar gas price trackers for most areas around the nation; you can find it at GasBuddy.com.

Use it; there's no reason that you can't at least find the best prices in your own local area.
