CHEAP GAS!

Now that I have your attention, I'd like to give a shout out to Grace York, Political Science Librarian and Coordinator of the Documents Center at the University of Michigan Library, and her talented library staff who continue rocking the government documents world with the unveiling of their latest Internet creation.  The Gasoline Prices web page is now available at http://www.lib.umich.edu/govdocs/dn08/dn08gas.html.   

Chockful of information, the Gasoline Prices web page provides ample statistics regarding pump and crude oil prices, exchange rates, and oil reserves.  The site also addresses potential solutions to high prices due to supply and demand on the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, the impact of gas tax holidays, and regulating commodity exchanges.

Fabulous features include the GasBuddy at http://www.gasbuddy.com.  This network permits users to search for the cheapest gas prices across the country and to add local fuel prices by state, county, and zip code.
