Jimmy Dale Wainscott said he spent $400 dollars in four days on gas for his truck.
Seriously.
The truck only gets five miles to the gallon.
But Wainscott needs the gas, so he dishes out the dough.
So do most Owen Countians.

Tracy Heilman, manager at Cowboys Food Store reported similiar results at her station.
“People will gripe and complain, but they still buy it,” Layton pointed out.
