gas prices

What are the possible factors in the rise of Kentucky gas prices?

The average price of gasoline in Owensboro seems to be on a steady decline. In fact, it's dropping faster than the STATE average.

With gas prices on the decline, many Tristate residents are wondering just how low those prices will go, and will it be enough to make a difference under the tree?

Although it already feels like summer, the summer season officially kicks off next Monday with Memorial Day. Families will start to hit the road for much overdue celebrations and vacations, yet they may experience sticker shock at the gas pump.

Gas prices have dropped considerably in Daviess County. But that's nothing compared to Henderson County.

As we watch what is happening in the Gulf of Mexico, a hurricane usually means gas prices will spike, however, sometimes weather is not always the cause. Such is the case with Kentucky at the moment.

Gas prices drive me nuts! I noticed around the last couple of holidays, they would go up and then drop back down. Now, they have gone up and they may stay there for a while. Groan!

I was in Henderson, Sunday, when I drove past a neon gas price sign that nearly stopped me dead in my tracks. Good thing it didn't; there was a semi behind me. But it did cause me to turn in and fill up my tank, even though I was  three-quarters of a tank full. The sign said $3.53 for regular unleaded...$3.53!

Okay, these are NOT the Geo Metros I remember. The Geo Metro I remember is the one I drove from early 1995-early 2000. The Metro was originally my Dad's, it was an '89 4-door sedan, which was a product of the second generation of the gas-efficient vehicles.

I don't know about you, but I'd grown rather content watching the gas prices fall below the $3.40 mark. Of course, after writing that sentence, I think, "Wow, how we lower our sights." But yeah, it's nice seeing more fuel go into my tank for less money...

Gas prices are going up all the time and may get even worse this summer! Here are some helpful hints you might want to try?
