Come again - Its how much per gallon now?
Sunday, April 23, 2006
It would be quite obvious by now and if you are driving ur car that often, say to work morning and evening, it would be killing ya. Its no big secret, you would have seen the gas prices at the pump getting higher and higher. In the last month itself, the price per gallon has climbed 16% and the price one pays at the pump is 31% higher than this time last year.
The national average is about 2 dollars and 90 cents. You would find prices a bit here and there but not below the 2.80 range. Its good that I dont have to drive to my way work every morning and evening. Public transport in Boston is something that you can rely on and also the traffic and the ridiculous parking charges aren't something that you would like to go for. It would take me more time to drive to work and the way back in the evening, hence makes more sense to take the T (public transport) :) ...
Earth's day marked Mr. Bush giving a message for the drivers worried about the soaring prices - "US must move more quickly toward widespread use of hydrogen-powered cars". Voila .. its easily said than done and we know that its gonna take years to accomplish H2 fuelled cars on the road. And its not that these prices have been predicted to come down anytime soon , they have, on the other hand, been predicted to reach about 4 bucks and we know that a $4 - gallon of gasoline will all but kill the American economy ...
For now, though California, Hawaii,NY and DC have the highest average price per gallon - $3.32 !!!
