gas

Cleaning a car shouldn't end this way.

Thieves have found a new way to steal gas from unsuspecting people at the pump and officials are warning motorist to look for these signs.

Just a few months ago, analysts were worried gas prices would soar this summer, possibly topping $6 a gallon. But now that the warmer months are upon us, there’s been an abrupt about-face. In fact, fuel prices are now falling so steadily that many experts predict that by this fall, a gallon of gas will be under $3.

It’s no secret that gas prices have reached astronomical levels, but one town’s gas prices have apparently gotten so high that its mayor has gotten fed up with pumping money into the pumps. That mayor is Tim Baldermann of New Lenox, Illinois, and he’s called for a boycott of the gas stations in his suburban town.

While gas prices may be coming in a little bit after a four-month surge, they still stand at almost four dollars a gallon. According to a new survey from Harris Interactive of 2,451 adults, these unprecedentedly high prices are causing Americans to change their overall spending habits.

As gas approaches an average of $4.00 a gallon, the public isn’t happy with the way President Obama is dealing with the issue.

This surveillance camera footage shows someone who clearly has no idea how to drive. Considering it took place in South Florida, we can only assume that this is an elderly person who can barely see above the steering wheel.

Anyone who has a car and a reason to go somewhere may have experienced a little weight loss this month. It’s not because they’ve been power walking, watching what they eat or doing more activities that don’t involve the use of a Snuggie. It’s because their wallets and purses weigh a lot less.

With the average price of gas approaching four dollars a gallon, the question becomes whether Americans are going to start to seriously changing their current driving habits and vacation plans, in light of this hike.

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.

Next time you pump your own gas, you might just want to wear gloves. According to a report released by Kimberly Clark Professional, gas pump handles rank as one of the dirtiest surfaces that Americans touch on a regular basis. Yuck.

Gas prices seem to be skyrocketing with no end in sight. Some project that they will reach $5.00 a gallon by June. While I don't share that much of a doomsday prediction, I do believe that they aren't going to get any cheaper anytime soon. Here are a few tips that might just save you a little cash at the pump.
