Super~!~!     Similar along freeways because They Knows They Gots You  
--  prices can be higher in the boondocks.     I almost never park at 
parking meters just as a matter of principal(le~?~!)     I probably 
haven't put $5.00--$10.00 in parking meters in my lifetime~!~!~!
.
Living in Bay Area it is necessary to be quite frugal about purchasing 
gasoline  --  highest here in SF and it is sometimes necessary to 
purchase here but I am usually down the peninsula to see Mom on weekends 
so buy down there where Much Cheaper  --  sometimes 
40-50-Centavos//Gallon cheaper~!~!~!
