The cost of getting to work has risen in the area of gasoline as prices continue to rise at the pump. One of the cheapest places to gas up a couple of days ago, was Murphy Oil on Westport Ave., just off I-20 at Pines Road.

That's where I got gas for $3.69 a gallon. Today, gas stations are selling the fuel for $3.75 a gallon in Carthage, Texas. And, that's actually cheap for Texas. Prices at the pump stand at 10-month highs.
