Cheapskate Highway

It's been almost a year since it was necessary to chuck 50 cents out of our cars on the drive through Buckhead, and from new traffic counts on Ga. Highway 400, one thing is abundantly clear: We're cheap. The AJC reports that traffic on the corridor has spiked 15 percent from a year ago, now that we don't have to part with precious quarters. Unfortunately, the increase in use coincides with more development along the Ga. Highway 400 corridor, likely meaning more traffic, which means we might see our savings squandered in fuel consumption. Womp womp.
