Will the price of gas stop you from going to A B&M and play on-line

Re: Gas
The price of fuel to get there (2 hour drive) did factor in a little. But to be honest the fact I can make more playing online was the deciding factor. Also not spending 4 hours in a car was a plus.

Re: Gas
Not exactly.
but it did occur to me how much better off I am as a professional online-player these days. My old job had about a 40-minute commute and the price of gas even then (over a year ago) was definitely something I felt. Today I have no commute at all since I work from home (or at the internet coffee-place down the street if I feel like it). And I'm sure glad that I don't really have to worry about the rising prices of gas like I would have pre-poker. On another note - Heading out to a suburb today I passed a spot where there were gas-stations across the street from each other that had a $0.50 difference in the price ($3.39 on one side, $2.89 at their competitors). The line at the cheaper station was pretty darn incredible. |

Wish I had a tank that big to store fuel... |

Re: Gas
Bob, you really are missing out on one of the finer things in life in Wawa. It is simply a hell of a convenience store.
It is a distant second to Sheetz, but those two are so far out in front of the rest of conveniencestoredom that it hardly even matters. |
