Obama’s Gift – $5 Gas By Memorial Day
At one time, $5 per gallon gas seemed like a farfetched idea, but that is no longer the case. As CBS 2’s Roseanne Tellez reports, as of Monday, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the Chicago area is $4.11, compared with $3.71 a month ago, and about $3.10 a gallon at this time a year ago.

Voting for change
America, have you had enough yet? I mean, really, down deep in your bones, have you had enough of the Occupier-in-chief and his change? In case you haven’t noticed, the economy still stinks, unemployed is still just as high and we have started a third war we can’t afford. Change? You bet’cha!
(CBS) – At one time, $5 per gallon gas seemed like a farfetched idea, but that is no longer the case. As CBS 2’s Roseanne Tellez reports, as of Monday, the average price for a gallon of regular unleaded gasoline in the Chicago area is $4.11, compared with $3.71 a month ago, and about $3.10 a gallon at this time a year ago.
Some experts say $5 per gallon gas is possible by Memorial Day.
Drivers Monday morning were practically numb to the price spikes. “What are you going to do?” said Shannon Thompson. “We’ve become so gas-dependent in this country. There are so many SUVs. I mean, I’ve had a hybrid. It worked great. Right now, I’m just going to deal with it.” Prices at some gas stations were as low as $4.09, a bargain compared to the $4.29 at some service stations downtown.
“It’s painful,” said Lamar Magee. “You’ve got to make a decision on where you drive and where you go nowadays.” He said he is “definitely” making changes to his routines. Magee says it will cost him about $120 to fill up the 30-gallon tank on his van. But even that pales in comparison to the big rigs. Truck driver Mark Kanarowski says his truck holds 200 gallons. “It’s got to be a huge expense for the company,” Kanarowski said. “I went to St. Louis over the weekend to fill up my own car, and I was paying about $4.13 a gallon. It hurts.” source – CBS Chicago
