This place is preposterously expensive... what about where you are?

Depending on what area of town you are in, it runs from $1.40 - $1.50 here. Gas was $1.33 at the station by my parents' house last time I was there.

I quit smoking about a month ago, and hadn't paid for cigarettes in months before that (god bless the guys who work for Camel and pass out free packs of cigarettes on a weekly basis), but last I remember, they were about $3 a pack.

I'm in Texas, near Dallas, by the way.
