This family member works for the state of Pennsylvania, and is blessed to have a state vehicle to use during her work hours. There\u2019s very strict rules attached to having the state car, which this family member is allowed to drive home at the end of their work day. However, that state car cannot be utilized for personal errands. Period. So once the family member gets home from work, they-of course\u2013adhere to the rules of their job. They only use their personal vehicle for the rest of their day, on weekends, or whenever they\u2019re not working. Since the gas prices have gone up again, they are spending about $400 a month these last five months just to gas up. In Philadelphia, up until the last couple of weeks, a person had to spend about $5.00 a gallon for regular gas. Don\u2019t even think about what Premium gas was costing, which is the kind of gas you have to use in most luxury vehicles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>President Joe Biden\u2019s Administration is breathing a sigh of relief that finally we can now see gas prices lowering. I spoke with Heather Boushey, a member of the President\u2019s Council of Economic Advisers. She offered an overview for where we stand right now with gas prices in America. Heather Boushey stated, \u201cWhat we have seen for the past 48 days gas prices have fallen every day straight for an average of 81 cents per gallon. That\u2019s almost seven or eight weeks of decline and what that means is that at current prices, the average driver will spend about $40 less each month than they would save if gas prices had stayed at their peek. That\u2019s significant savings for families. That\u2019s money in people\u2019s pockets, helping them make ends meet,\u201d Boushey added, \u201cWe had seen the price of oil falling starting some weeks ago. It typically takes some time for the drop in global oil prices to get reflected at the pump, its good that is finally happening, and consumers are getting some much needed relief. There are 19 or so states where the average price of gasoline is less than four dollars per gallon. But there are many states, particularly on the West coast and up in Alaska, where gas prices remain higher than that. We have seen gas prices falling all around the country. There are tens of thousands of gas stations, about half of all gas stations in America, where gas is less than four dollars a gallon.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>**********<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you for reading Thera Martin\u2019s article on scoopnewsusa.com.
