Gas prices ease as winter fuel blend costs less to produce
AAA spokeswoman Kim Mathewson says the winter gas blend is cheaper and easier to produce than the spring summer blend, with demand lower and fewer cleaner burning requirements. Prices are expected to drift downward with seasonal trends, though storms or threats could push them up again. An 18 year old student notes gas at 2.36 per gallon and a $20 fill buys about five days of driving.
