As we all know, gas
prices is exactly like Wisconsin’s weather: it can change in a heartbeat,
quickly. Gas prices typically go up and down throughout the year, but in the
past few weeks they’ve been going lower, which is something a lot of people
aren’t used to. With the holiday season around the corner, prices are going to
drop so families can drive to their loved ones instead of flying. According to www.marketwatch.com, gas prices are to
drop $3 for the first time since the year of 2010. The article also stated that
gas consumers will save approximately $250 million dollars, which is very
significant and helpful to those who want to save money. With all of the recent
social media posts, it seems like almost every driver is not complaining about
this early Christmas gift. UW-Parkside senior Symone Nicks loves the
significant change in the gas prices. Nicks said “The gas prices dropping is
more convenient, especially for the holiday season. I feel like the gas prices
are fair in today’s economy.” You have to agree with Symone for the most part.
Gas prices were not that high up, but they were affordable for families to get
around. We have to take advantage of the price of gas dropping because it will
not be here forever, with spring approaching months from now. #
