The cheapest gas around in my area is $5.00 a gallon, but the better gas which I use is $5.20 a gallon, California. People vote with their pocket books, GDP and that other concept stuff mentioned in article doesn’t matter.

Mortgage rates hovering around what, 7.nn percent?

Not good... it can go one way, or the other...
