Drivers start to cut back on gas as prices rise

Post by LICKING COUNTY FAN »

I think we, the public already knew this was happening nice to see the media catching up.


Gas sales have fallen for five straight weeks, the first time that has happened since November, according to MasterCard SpendingPulse, which tracks spending at 140,000 service stations nationwide.

Instead, about 70 percent of the nation's major gas-station chains say sales have fallen, according to a March survey by the Oil Price Information Service. More than half reported a drop of 3 percent or more -- the sharpest since the summer of 2008, when gas soared past $4 a gallon

My wife started carpooling five weeks ago and has cut her gas bill by better than 50%. The more people cut back, the better.
