That ' s a great article for sure , but it ' s more of an opinion piece then it is fact . Do you actually have raw numbers that state drivers pay less ? Ones that factor in the shipping business and fuel tax agreements as well ? <| sep |> I actually agree with you , but I was just stating that it ' s not crazy to me for someone from somewhere to be mildly amused at someone somewhere else can get something they get easily . For example , there ' s this soda they sell in Texas called Big Red . My Texan friend enjoys it and never shuts up about it . I found it at a local store and he was amused they sold it here in California . Both are states in the US and not too far from each other , but he was still mildly surprised .
