gas prices

Here's some good news - gas prices in central New York are down this month, and just in time for the holidays. Due to lower gas prices, it's expected that more people will be on the road this holiday season.

Thankfully, gas prices have come down in the past few weeks, especially with holiday travel this week. But, it still makes you wonder why our local gas prices are higher than the national average.

It looks like we're getting a bit of a break at the gas pump these days. So, if you're traveling to that out-of-town college football game this weekend, it might cost you a little less at the pump.

With gas prices over four dollars a gallon, its getting more expensive to fill the tank. I remember when I first bought my little Honda Civic in 2004, it was about twenty bucks to fill it up.  The other day I stopped at the gas station and it was close to fifty dollars!  I can't imagine what it costs someone who owns a van or SUV.  That's got to be well over a hundred bucks.

A singer from Michigan is taking his frustrations over near four-dollar a gallon gas prices to YouTube.  Jason Miles wrote 'Liquid Gold' because he wants the government to do something about high prices at the pumps. He also stars in the video and acts as a gas station attendant who takes a customer's baby instead of money for their gas.  Check out his song and video.

We like to share good news with our Big Frog 104 listeners, and here's some you'll appreciate. As we begin the Memorial Day Weekend, local gas prices are down, so that trip to the beach or long weekend getaway will cost a bit less.

Remember the line from Ronnie  Dunn's "Cost of Living", where he says "Three dollars and change at the pump"? Well, now it's all of that and then some. Although gas prices are rising, I've read where they  may level off my Memorial Day, but where will that level be?

America's Research Group found that 33 percent of people polled in its survey are taking fewer trips to the store as the price of gas continues to soar.
