Clark has good news coming from the gas pump. The cost of gasoline at wholesale has dropped to $1.58 a gallon. We’re not seeing that at the pumps just yet, but it’s a good sign. In the past two weeks, gas prices at retail have dropped by one of the largest amounts in a two-week period. Prices in some areas of the country may drop below $2 a gallon, for instance. The bad news is that there are a number of reasons why this drop may be temporary. The Europeans shipped us emergency gas when the hurricanes hit, and the President drew from reserves that we don’t normally use. The government also temporarily waived some of the stringent guidelines at the state level. All these things dramatically increased the supply of gas in a short time and caused prices to go down. There is more bad news if you heat your home with natural gas. Prices are going to remain high in that industry. That is one of the reasons why you’re going to have a tough time this winter. But gasoline is going to get cheaper in the foreseeable future.
