Growing up I heard the phrase, there are two guarantees in life, taxes and death, sounds about right. If you travel between Fargo and St.Cloud. The highest gas price will be (100% of the time) in Perham. Always seven to ten cents a gallon higher, why? Is it local greed? I don't know but would love to hear an "honest" answer.
Numerous times I will say to my wife, don't do your shopping in Perham. Lets go to Detroit Lakes because the truck needs gas. I know many locals do the same. If I were in Perham, I would look into this matter of very high gas prices. I'm sure some people will say why fuss over a couple of bucks a fill up but over five to ten years that really adds up. The Perham Focus has room in the paper for opinions, so let's hear from you (good and bad).
