In search of the best price

Rising gas prices are a hot topic in Whitley County this week! On Monday, prices rose from about $3.93 to $4.17 per gallon in some areas of the county within hours -- creating lines and resulting in some stations running out of fuel. Throughout the day, residents shared with friends where good gas prices could still be found, but by late afternoon, most stations in Columbia City and Churubusco had already changed to $4.18. Fortunately for some drivers, prices remained $3.93 in Larwill and South Whitley until at least early evening. Above, drivers line up to buy gas at $3.93 per gallon at the Marathon station in downtown South Whitley Monday evening.
