gas

I have noticed over the past few days that gas prices have been on the decline instead of skyrocketing. We always hear about the rise in gas prices but rarely about the decline, and that's what I'm excited about today!

Turmoil in the Middle East is nothing new. Gas prices going up is nothing new. What is new is the possibility that we could be looking at prices at the pump lurking in the neighborhood of $5 a gallon by the summer. And that’s painful.

HOUSTON — Retail gasoline prices have jumped another 7 cents in the state , the ninth straight week with an increase.

We already know gas prices are climbing precipitously high, but you don’t usually see them change right before your very eyes. For one news reporter, though, that’s exactly what happened.

Remember the summer of 2008 when the highest gas prices on record occurred and the price for a gallon of fuel hit $4.11? Hate to break this to yah, but a warm winter and tensions in the Middle East have some analysts predicting current prices will top $4 by this spring — and could even climb as high as $6.50.

If it seems like it’s costing more and more to fill up your gas tank, it’s not just your imagination. On average, a gallon of fuel costs 22 cents more than it did at this time last year. Worse yet, experts think it’ll climb higher still.

No doubt about it, gas prices stink!  We haven't seen gas prices this high since 2008. As summer comes around, they’re probably going to go even higher. Luckily, Mix 93.1 and Super 1 Foods are giving you a chance to win free gas! More after the jump.
