Gas is under three dollars. For now. Overall, many individuals are wondering how long it will last. According to President of Zip Stop, Joey Zimmerman, the immediate outlook on gasoline is somewhat dependent upon the “fiscal cliff”.

As for how prices have come to be where they are, Zimmerman says that supply and demand as well as competition have caused it to go down. Overall, Zimmerman says that the thought is that the American people are burning less gas than they were before because inventories are going up on it.
