The Kansas City Star

American motorists weren’t sad to see 2012 end. They paid a record average of $3.60 a gallon for gasoline this past year.

However, Missouri had some of the cheapest fuel in the nation. And better times may be ahead.

In the Kansas City area, gasoline has dipped below $3 a gallon in recent days.

And higher production of oil, especially within the United States, could help moderate price fluctuations throughout the country in the new year.

   Of course if the ecofreaks and their pals in the EPA say fracking is “bad”, all bets are off yt.

   This is what the big 0 will probably allow to happen in 2013 since it would further weaken America, 0’s main goal…..

   If the economy picks up steam and starts moving forward, I seriously doubt big oil will sit on the sidelines and not gouge consumers for as much profit as they can get away with.
