And $5 gas is nothing new to Alaska.


No kidding. I went there in 1973 to Ft. Greely, from Ft. Rucker Al.
Premium gasoline was 18.9 cents a gallon at Rucker and over $1.65 a
gallon at Greely. If it has only trippled in 39 years, it's a bargain
along the Alcan at $5 a gallon. It's $4 a gallon in some parts of
Florida, without the expense of trucking small tankers on the Alcan.
