The total amount divided by 52 weeks averages out to $47 per week. Basically, a fill up a week.<br /><br />I've seen people fill up on county gas. They're a lot of people who get that free gas that clearly are just using it for personal use.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664019666098561247.post-25049940344829784182017-02-17T07:41:03.265-05:002017-02-17T07:41:03.265-05:00Second paragraph, first sentence - "According...Second paragraph, first sentence - "According to Arelis Hernandez of the Washington Post".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664019666098561247.post-40949433134867126132017-02-16T18:21:33.065-05:002017-02-16T18:21:33.065-05:00Where's your source for the accusation on free...Where's your source for the accusation on free gas?Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07415344213024653930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664019666098561247.post-32256049992457824532017-02-16T12:43:45.212-05:002017-02-16T12:43:45.212-05:00Dyer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_W...Dyer, see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Boy_Who_Cried_WolfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1664019666098561247.post-40255869688671859862017-02-16T11:15:24.353-05:002017-02-16T11:15:24.353-05:00i'm not a huge fan of a lot of things the Coun...i'm not a huge fan of a lot of things the Council does, but this isn't one of them Robert. I hope the Council is travelling and meeting different constituencies - that's part of their job. It's not a big deal - move on.
