Gas Prices Down Slightly on Lower Demand

[CatWoman]

I think these greedy fucks (the oil industry) need to be taught a lesson. Yes, oil is essential, but food and health care are too.

CAMARILLO, Calif. - The average price for all grades of gasoline nationwide has fallen nearly 4 1/2 cents per gallon in two weeks because of a drop in crude oil prices and slightly lower demand, an industry analyst said Sunday.

The average retail price for all three grades dropped 4.46 cents to $2.27 per gallon between April 8 and Friday, said Trilby Lundberg, who publishes the semimonthly Lundberg Survey of 7,000 gas stations around the country.

The most popular grade, self-serve regular, was priced at $2.24 a gallon, while customers paid $2.34 for midgrade. Premium averaged $2.44 a gallon for the period.

The drop comes after an average 19-cent jump in overall gas prices during the last survey, taken between March 18 and April 8.

1. I know I've been trying to drive less

Consolodate trips, eat lunch at the office, small things but things that reduce the amount of gas I'm using.
