Tank of gas to go 50 miles? Good heavens, what do you drive? 50 miles is something like 2 gallons. That’s 7 bucks. 15 if you drive a Hummer.

I’ve had customers fly in to Denver just to get the appraisal and who will fly half way around the world to get the right stone. I see someone who drove more than 100 miles to get to me almost every day.

Working at McDonald''s at $7.15/hr considering a little under 20% for tax withholding he could have made gas money several times over even at California''s gas prices. Silly rocku!

50 miles round trip....

Using an estimated 20 mile per gallon of gas.... With gas prices at $3.20 / gallon.... (in my area anyway)....

50/20 = 2.5 gallons

2.5 gallons * $3.20 = $8.00

Now, weigh the difference.... is it worth $8.00 for you to see the diamond you will be spending thousands of dollars on and have to look at likely for the rest of your life??

You make the decision.
