Gas prices fall while prime rates trim banks’ lending
Gasoline prices drop up to three cents in several cities as stocks rise and demand wanes. Major banks cut the prime rate to 19 percent, with Citibank easing to 19.5 percent and others holding at 20 percent, prompting cautious optimism about future consumer borrowing costs. The Commerce Department notes a slowing economy in early 1980 with real GNP up 1.1 percent and inflation high, while disposable income rises 2.9 percent to 7,830 per person.
