    Also, food and drink, on average, are more expensive up here when compared to the States. Not entirely sure why, since our dollar is comparatively the same, finally.
    Must be increased fuel costs, now.

    Can't recycle for cash in Texas, unless you go to a scrap metal place or one of those ever-so-rare machines. There's no deposit on cans here like there is in NY, so it's not a guaranteed 10 cents.

    $3.86 last time I went out. <3 having oil in my state, even if it's not economically viable to pump.

    I remember a Sienfeld episode where Kramer tried it. It was probably the reason the law was passed.

    Most states in the southwest don't do it at all. if you look, most cans have it labelled on them where they're worth money.

    Also, I think that's technically considered fraud. I had a conversation about that with someone last time I was in New York.

    Oh, wow. According to Google Maps, the closest gas station to my house is actually at $3.69 a gallon as of <24 hours ago. Nice.
