And now for some good news… I think?
Thursday, November 20th, 2008There’s been a lot of gloom and doom in the news lately as far as the automotive industry goes. (Like this article, this one, or this one.. just to list a few) But has anyone noticed how fast gas has fallen recently? It’s like I just blinked and all the sudden it’s $2.05 a gallon. (Saw that price this morning on my way to work and almost didn’t believe it)
Remember when it felt like this?
So, what now? Some are saying it’s time to instate a gas tax, to keep demand low and prices from climbing again, as well as collect money for much-needed government projects. Others argue, claiming that a gas tax would be just another blow to the already struggling poor and middle class.
Me? I’ll keep driving the same amount, and I will thoroughly enjoy every stop at the gas station…. if it means only spending 20 bucks.
But I do wonder… with all the effort auto companies have been expending lately to promote their “green” factor (mainly high MPG), will this change anything?
