Gas

Gas prices have taken a wild ride this year — first we were told to expect record-breaking fuel costs, and then analysts backed down from that prediction. Since then, prices have see-sawed back and forth, and now experts expect them to drop again.

Just a few months ago, analysts were worried gas prices would soar this summer, possibly topping $6 a gallon. But now that the warmer months are upon us, there’s been an abrupt about-face. In fact, fuel prices are now falling so steadily that many experts predict that by this fall, a gallon of gas will be under $3.

The high cost of speeding tickets does make some drivers slow down, but what if you were actually paid to stop being such a lead-food instead?

As someone who watches the price of gas closely for some sign of reason for the raising or lowering of the price, I have to say that I am confused most of the time.Most of us would believe it should have nothing to do with some Sheikh in a small Arab country catching a cold, but the oil companies will use that excuse if there is no other.
