There was this interesting article called Gas prices sinking toward $2.90 mark By Ben Rooney a staff writer on CNNMoney.com written on October 20, 2008. Like everyone knows our economy is one of our main concerns besides the Iraq War and other things that are going on our country. Well a great thing that happened in the economy that concerned many consumers was gas. Either way with gas being so high people had to find a way to save trips, carpool, and bike, use public transportation, or just spend big bills to fill up your tank. From July gas was $4.11 and now gas is around $2.90 that means gas went down thirty percent. Right now Alaska has the highest gas price of $3.88 and Oklahoma with the cheapest gas of $2.48.Hopefully gas stays like this for quite a while and people should consider filling up there tanks while supplies last. The author just proved a point to describe the economy right now with gas prices and supplies. Also to advice this great opportunity to help consumers save a couple of dollars.
