TRIPS TO TAKE ON A TANK OF GAS


The paper that lines everyones litter boxes came up with the great idea of putting together a list of places that one could go on a tank of gas. Well it turns out with the exception of the great city of Lawrence, Ks you are screwed. They should of called it "Places that suck" outside of the metro.

Who the hell wants to take their vacation in Fort Scott or Columbia, Mo? Seriously? And why did the dumb ass writer include the Village West and Independence, Mo? You mean we can drive 20 minutes on the highway on a tank of gas? Thanks for that tidbit of information. "Mountains are pretty, beaches are tempting", Yes they are and that is where people will still go despite the price of gas. If people can't afford more than a tank of gas in their vacation budget then they need to stay home.

This is just another example of the crap that is getting passed off as journalism at SUN Publications. If you are going to write a story that plays to peoples fears than at least give them real options and show that you did some research.

FYI.... You can get to Table Rock Lake, Lake of the Ozarks, Wichita, Ks, and Omaha, Nebraska all on a tank of gas (one way).
