Strode of Bowling Green said as he filled up his gas tank 8220;if they stay this way8221;While gas prices continue to plunge many consumers wonder how long their luck at the pump will last8220;I8217;m skeptical if they are going to stay this way8221; said Leslie Schopflin of Summer Shade as he left Speedway this morning 8220;They went down so quickly8221;An informal survey showed this morning that gas in Bowling Green cost about 036;193 and 036;195 per gallon for regular unleaded fuelThe alltime highest fuel price for the Owensboro area was 036;403 on Sept 17 said Roger Boyd spokesperson for AAA8220;Not all that long ago if you can believe it gas was 036;2 more a gallon8221; he saidThe speedy drop in gas prices can be attributed to motorists conserving fuel therefore decreasing the demand and the price Boyd said8220;For a while it was a selffulfilling prophecy8221; he said 8220;What we saw was prices were artificially high because of panic and something like this subdues it We certainly hope everybody keeps contributing to the lessening demand8221;The average national fuel price was 036;220 this morning with Kentucky8217;s price averaging about 036;2 It is normal for Kentucky8217;s prices to fall below the national average because the state has a lower gas tax and better access to fuel Boyd saidBut for the past two years Kentucky8217;s average gas price has outpaced the national average8220;The reasons are not readily apparent8221; Boyd said 8220;There were a lot of questions some of which have not been answered8221;Now state fuel costs are back to normal 045; they are among the lowest prices in the nation8220;This actually brings us back to where we were a couple of years ago8221; Boyd said 8220;It is interesting to see that surrounding states are lower than us8221;The last time prices were this low was probably about 20 months ago said Fred Higgins owner of Minit MartHiggins also said consumers8217; conservation efforts are a big contributor to the price plunge8220;I would be in the store and hear consumers talk over coffee in the morning8221; he said 8220;and a husband and wife were carpooling If we can keep that up we can keep it down8221;Also the price per barrel of oil continues to drop 045; the price per barrel was 036;60 this morning 045; a sign that the market is correcting itself and trying to stay away from abnormally high fuel prices And fuel is in low demand this time of year 045; fewer people travel during the fall season while children are in school Boyd saidBoyd said he is not sure when or if prices will spike but they are likely to rise if the demand increases Historically when wintry weather strikes the Northeast gas prices increase he said8220;Typically prices go up in response to need for home heating fuel8221; he said 8220;The market tends to react to heavy winter weather8221;Similarly Higgins said prices will remain modest if consumers continue to preserve fuel and keep the demand low After all lower gas prices result in heavier wallets for most consumers8220;This has been very enjoyable to watch our customers feel some relief at the pump8221; Higgins said 8220;It means a lot more money in the customers8217; pocket in southcentral Kentucky It8217;s happening all over so we8217;re just tickled to see that8221;Kenneth Cantrell of Bowling Green stopped to fill his tank this morning before taking his grandson to school 045; a task he said is easier now that gas prices are lower8220;I do a lot of taxi cab work taking people back and forth8221; he said 8220;So the low prices are good8221;Cantrell said he would like fuel costs eventually to fall to 036;125 but he does not think they will ever drop to the lowest price he remembers8220;I8217;m turning 62 and I remember when it was a quarter a gallon8221; he said 8220;But right now it8217;s helping people out a lot8221;As Donnie Johnson of Greenville fueled his van this morning he said that day8217;s fuel cost was the lowest he paid in a long time It took around 036;30 to fill his vehicle compared to 036;65 to 036;70 a few weeks ago8220;It gives a lot more disposable income for the family8221; he said 8220;There8217;s not as much pain associated with filling up a vehicle anymore8221; http://www.axtora.com/homesites/us/kentucky/greenville/content/fdd3477f78c56f09725fb84b536d1d40.html OWENSBORO Henderson County qualified five runners to compete in next week's state meet during Saturday's Class 3A regional meet at Yellow Creek Park http://www.axtora.com/homesites/us/kentucky/greenville/content/02aed8a1a860331fed5a1894bf2f5437.html Hundreds of people got in some holiday shopping during the 12th annual Palmyra Holidays Craft Show this weekend Miniature Christmas trees quilts silk flowers and other items were available in the celebration center of Palmyra United Methodist Church Beverly Claret drove from Brandenburg Ky to shop among all these nice homemade things http://www.axtora.com/homesites/us/kentucky/greenville/content/b9db3bae6d94ef773a12b00324d5cdda.html Larry Landberg shop foreman for New AlbanyFloyd County schools thought he had been invited to a recent school board meeting to make a presentation about fuel maintenance and mileage
