Record Gas Prices

Gas Prices Continue To Soar



Gas prices continue to soar, and experts say that no top is in sight right now. The national motorist association, AA, says that the national average for gasoline prices is 3.27 a gallon, which matches the alltime high set last year.

Several areas of the country are expected to see $4 a gallon this summer, just when families want to pack up and go on vacation. This is expected to put a damper on travel plans, which will affect many segments of the economy.

This is also bound to encourage people to take steps to make their own cars more gas efficient. In reality, many experts say that newer green cars not only save money, but are designed to be safe cars.
This is because safety comes from car design, and not just from tons of steel.
