We checked out a few gas prices at stations across the north part of Palm Beach County, as well as the rates the American Automobile Association has been reporting, to determine where costs were highest and lowest in Florida. We also found a few stations using ethically questionable practices to attract drivers, using tactics that border on bait-and-switch price gouging.

Driving around the country just got a tad easier this week. In case you missed it, Kansas and Oklahoma have new interoperability agreements so those with a K-Tag or PikePass can now drive in more states, and those with an E-ZPass from Pennsylvania or Massachusetts, or a QuickPass or I-Pass, can now use their transponders on Kansas and Oklahoma toll roads. This is a big deal, as we step closer to true interstate compatibility.
